This powerful new release extends FLOW-3D POST’s capabilities across the FLOW-3D product family.
Pathtracing improvements
Users can now add, edit and adjust pathtracing material properties on the fly, making it even easier to communicate complex technical results to a wider audience with photorealistic renderings.
History data calculator
Mathematical operations on history data are now possible directly within FLOW-3D POST. Users can apply the updated Python calculator to history data, simplifying operations on time series data, such as from measurement devices like probes and flux surfaces.
EXODUS file format improvements
This release improves the rendering of EXODUS objects to be smoother and more realistic.
· Reloading JSON / EXODUS files: Users can now reload JSON/EXODUS files while a simulation is running, allowing them to visualize and analyze evolving data without interrupting their simulation workflow.
Revised porosity visualization: Porosity outputs in the EXODUS file format have been revised to include resolved shrinkage porosity and better visualization of leak paths inside castings.
Faceted surfaces in EXODUS outputs can be smoothed out in FLOW-3D POST 2025R1.
FLOW-3D WELD and FLOW-3D AM support
The new, pre-configured objects for fluids, melt regions, heat sources, reflections and particles make visualization of FLOW-3D WELD and FLOW-3D AM simulations a breeze. Annotations of commonly-used outputs are automatically available upon opening the results file in FLOW-3D POST, accelerating postprocessing workflows.
