Overview

XDBview is a free viewer that provides high-performance, interactive visualization capabilities for CFD simulations. It allows users to interrogate their CFD simulations using compact XDB files, which maintain the full numerical fidelity of the simulation on selected surfaces and streamlines. XDBview enables users to review and share complex simulation results without the burden of large CFD datasets and without requiring a license. The tool is designed to work with XDB files generated by FieldView, making it easy to transfer, share, and archive simulation data.

Features

• Compact XDB Files: XDB files are 10x to 1,000x smaller than CFD datasets, making them easy to transfer and share.
• Interactive Visualization: Provides true interactive exploration of transient data with high-speed, multi-window graphics.
• Surface Sweep Operations: Perform surface sweep operations to enhance data analysis.
• STL File Support: Read STL files to include geometry in models with minimal impact on file size.
• Multiple Display Types: New display types, including vertex display, for enhanced views and high performance.
• Annotation and Sharing: Annotate and save views to share with colleagues, clients, and managers.

Benefits

• Efficient Data Handling: Reduces the burden of large CFD datasets, making data handling more efficient.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Facilitates easy sharing and collaboration with colleagues and clients.
• Improved Decision-Making: Enables quick and accurate analysis of simulation results for better decision-making.
• Cost-Effective: Free to use and does not require a license, reducing costs for users.
• User-Friendly: Easy to use with intuitive features for annotating and saving views.
