About ANSYS EnSight
EnSight is a visualization and animation program for programs in the field of fluid mechanics and structural mechanics. It can process result data from the following programs available at the computer center, among others: ABAQUS, ANSYS, MD Nastran, FLUENT, and STAR-CD. In addition, there are a number of other formats that can be read by EnSight.
EnSight consists of a client and a server part. Both parts are available on all common operating systems.
ANSYS Ensight can be found in the ANSYS installation files (ISOs, FLUIDS or FLUIDSTRUCTURES) in which Ensight is included (see above under Installation Instructions).
