Chapter 7: Structural Mechanics Example

This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for performing basic postprocessing operations - especially those relevant to non-linear dynamics (for example, crash) analysis. Unlike the two previous datasets, the data used here is transient - the model variables vary over time. EnSight provides a wide range of features for postprocessing and animating transient data.

After successfully completing this chapter, you should be able to:

  • group multiple parts into a single part,

  • show geometry displacements,

  • probe for data values,

  • change time steps,

  • perform a query and plot it,

  • add annotation to an image,

  • create a flipbook animation.
