In this new version we've packed Python scripting, 2D texture mapping for vastly more realistic scenes, and enhanced cluster post-Processing by making EnSight Automatic and applicable to models which are no longer decomposed. From customer requests, we've made it possible to customize the user interface and add your own right-click menus. We have also added several new readers including: NifTi-1/Analyze for medical imaging, and Wavefront OBJ for 3D content similar to .STL and VRML. We've improved the FLUENT, ABAQUS, ANSYS, MSC.Nastran, LS-Dyna readers, as well as many others.
New and Modified Features
Writing out movies in EnSight has been greatly improved in EnSight 8.2. More movie formats than ever before are now supported and unique capabilities have been added.
Writing Stereo Movies, Avoiding screensaver content in your movies, making really big movies and images and making crisp, scalable images and movies.
Even if you are not currently running in stereo mode or are not running on stereo capable hardware such as a laptop or low-end graphics card you can still Create stereo movies and images for Playback later on other hardware. You can also render the images to off-screen buffers which lets you create really big movies or images (size limited only by the file format inherent limits) and avoid that screensavers or overlapping windows would be captured in your rendering movie. And you can set the anti-aliasing quality settings so that images have smoother, crisper lines, and can be scaled with less artifacts.
