EnSight (Forte)

The Ensight (Forte) system launches EnSight, a full-featured postprocessing and analysis tool that supports visualization and quantitative analysis of simulation results. You can run EnSight as a component from within Workbench by activating the EnSight Forte extension. You must have already installed EnSight as part of the unified installation in order to access the extension. This system uses Forte solvers for analysis and reads the results into EnSight.

To work through an EnSight (Forte) system:

  1. If EnSight (Forte) does not appear in the Toolbox:

    1. From the menu bar, select Extensions > Manage Extensions.

    2. In the Extensions Manager dialog, select the EnSight Forte extension name.

    3. Right-click and select Load from the context menu to run once or Load as Default to load the extension every time you start Workbench.

      Once you've loaded the extension, EnSight (Forte) is listed in the Toolbox as a component system.

  2. To add a Forte component template, drag the template from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic or double-click the template in the Toolbox.

  3. To add an EnSight (Forte) component template, drag the template from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic, dropping it onto the Solution cell of the Forte system.

  4. If required, to connect the EnSight (Forte) system to a structural system, drop the structural system on the Results cell of the EnSight (Forte) system.

  5. Right-click the EnSight (Forte) system header and select Update from the context menu.

  6. To launch EnSight with the results loaded, double-click the EnSight (Forte) system Results cell or right-click the Results cell and select Edit.
