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.
