CED News

Apex-based Computational Engineering International, Inc. (CEI) (www.ensight.com), a visualization and animation software company, has been granted a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I Award from the United States Army for the company’s research and feasibility study of CFD Co-processing for Unsteady Visualization. Co-processing remains a seldom-used method to post-process simulations both because of gains in computing speed and storage capacity, and the lack of reliable, robust automated flow feature extraction methods. Due to the size of these large, complex, transient solutions, a shift towards co-processing technology is required. CEI will research adapting its high performance and flexible EnSight post processing system for the purpose of co-processing these large and complex simulations. Under the SBIR, CEI will investigate the feasibility of periodically reviewing results as the solver computes them, which may require days or even weeks of processing time.
