Under interactive mouse control, an additional set of transform controls can be accessed by pressing the Spacebar on your keyboard after clicking in the modeling window.
View new features for AcuSolve 2020.1.
AcuSolve is a leading general purpose CFD solver that is capable of solving the most demanding industrial and scientific applications.
Discover AcuSolve functionality with interactive tutorials.
Introduction of background knowledge regarding flow physics and CFD as well as detailed information about the use of AcuSolve and what specific options do.
Collection of AcuSolve simulation cases for which results are compared against analytical or experimental results to demonstrate the accuracy of AcuSolve results.
AcuSolve command descriptions and corresponding examples.
AcuSolve utility programs covering preparatory and post-processing as well as user-defined functions and utility scripts.
Customization of AcuSolve allowing you to customize certain capabilities of the solver.
Instruction of the mesh generation capability in AcuConsole, a GUI based pre-processor for AcuSolve.
Customization of AcuConsole allowing you to improve your particular workflow.
Commands of AcuTrace, a particle tracer that runs as a post-processor to or a co-processor with AcuSolve.
Instructions to define additional solution quantities of AcuTrace called user equations.
Usage of AcuFieldView, an OEM version of Intelligent Light’s FieldView post-processing software.
A unified graphical user interface (GUI) is used for all platforms that are supported by AcuFieldView.
The main menu bar is located at the top of the interface and provides access to all other panels of the interface.
Toolbars contain groups of icons used to perform the most common tasks.
The AcuFieldView modeling window can be split into more than one window.
When multiple windows are present, it is sometimes useful to maximize one window temporarily.
The mouse controls available on the Viewer toolbar allow you to easily manipulate the view of your data.
Under interactive mouse control, an additional set of transform controls can be accessed by pressing the Spacebar on your keyboard after clicking in the modeling window.
The Running Mouse mode causes the mouse to set objects into motion, and the current action will continue to perform until the mouse button is released.
Locked transforms are enabled by clicking on the left-most button on the Viewer toolbar.
When the right mouse icon on the locked transforms toolbar is clicked, the remaining icons on the toolbar, when clicked, translate, rotate or zoom your Object by a pre-specified amount according to the settings on the Viewer Options panel.
The functionality is slightly different depending on whether you have a two or three-button mouse. On a three-button mouse, the mapping of the icons to the mouse is simply left to right.
The Demotion setting determines whether objects in the modeling window are changed to simpler representations when interactive transforms are performed.
Once an object is selected, there are two mouse interpretation modes, Running and Tracking.
Support is available for the 3D connection 3D mice products including the SpaceExplorer, SpaceMouse Pro, SpaceNavigator and Space Pilot products, giving you the ability to easily navigate and manipulate data with improved control and agility.
To make fly-thrus easier for those of you without a 3D mouse, the Action Fly- Thru Transform is available.
The mouse icon area shows depictions of the actions of the mouse buttons appropriate to the Action selection and the current Object.
When transforming the Dataset in relation to the World, the orientation is changed and the only way to restore the original orientation is to click Reset.
When transforming the Dataset in relation to the World, the orientation is changed and there is no undo action to restore the original orientation.
The transform is specified by clicking M2 for XYZ rotation. When Object is Light, a light-wand appears on the axis marker. This indicates the location of the light source.
The transform is specified by clicking M1 for XY translation within the plane of the graphics window, M2 is inactive and M3 is used for scaling the embedded plot.
AcuSolve results can be loaded into AcuFieldView using two different methods.
AcuFieldView has several switches, or command line arguments, that control various aspects of program operation.
Environment variables can give you greater control over how AcuFieldView works following a standard installation.
Probing operations in AcuFieldView are designed to balance memory requirements against overall performance.
The actual swap (or paging) space needed to process your data generally depends on the size of the dataset.
AcuFieldView allows multi-process operation in addition to the standard (single process) method of using AcuFieldView.
AcuFieldView can run in parallel using up to eight cores in addition to the node AcuFieldView is run on.
Use the Quick Pick feature to quickly navigate through surface and rake panels.
Quick Pick enables you to delete individual streamlines from the rake.
Due to the complexity involved in the formulas for some of the tutorials, formula restart files have been provided to you and should be used when instructed during the tutorials.
Instruction of the AcuReport tool, a standalone post-processor batch tool used to generate a report from an AcuSolve solution database.
