Description  
Simulation Analytics: A New Methodology for Evaluating CAE Projects
The dramatic growth in computer power has driven an increase in both size and number of CAE simulations used in engineering and scientific analysis. The increase in number of simulation cases has revealed a gap in current post-processing analysis capabilities. Simulation analytics helps fill the gap. Dr. Scott Imlay discusses simulation analytics which explores collections of CAE datasets using techniques of data management, statistics, and data mining.
 
The Role of Parametric CFD Analysis in Engineering Design
Parametric CFD analysis has been shown to play a crucial role in the engineering design of fluid dynamic devices. This white paper discusses how parametric CFD analysis can be effectively applied to engineering design and will step you through the five stages: problem definition, dimensional reduction, experimental design, management of CFD simulations, and metadata analysis.
 
Streamlines, Particle Paths, and Streaklines
Much like leaves in a breeze, streamlines, streaklines, and particle paths provide a useful visualization of complex vector fields. They yield detailed information about the vector direction and magnitude in user-selected localized regions without the clutter associated with many other vector field visualization methods.  
 
Challenges of Analyzing Parametric CFD Results
Learn more about how you can gain a strong competitive advantage by creating higher-quality designs with parametric CFD analysis, and how to prepare for the next wave of this critical methodology.
 
Visualization and Analysis of Heterogeneous Data: Coordinate System Registration
One of the toughest challenges faced by CFD engineers today is pulling massive amounts of heterogeneous data together into a single environment for easy visualization and analysis. This white paper focuses on transforming data for consistent coordinate systems.
 
Presenting a Polished Image: How to Effectively Communicate Results
At Tecplot, Inc., we’ve been in the business of helping scientists and engineers communicate their CFD results for almost 30 years. We’ve put some of that accumulated knowledge into a short paper designed to help you communicate your results more effectively in print, online, and on screen.
 
Some Computation Required: Vortex Visualization Revisited
The recommended technique for visualizing vortices is to extract vortex cores, but they provide no information about vortex size and can be somewhat difficult to see. Some customers would like to look at iso-surfaces of λ2 instead. Tecplot Director of Research, Dr. Scott Imlay shows you how this can be done in Tecplot 360.
