About FieldView CFD, Inc
FieldView CFD is the new home of the FieldView family of products. Continuing a 30-year tradition of faster CFD through highly productive workflows, continuous performance improvements, reliable software and best-in-class support, FieldView gives you what you need to get your work done quickly and with confidence.
"Formula One teams are the most demanding CFD users I’ve ever seen. Working with FieldView allows for automation of the post-processing of huge amounts of high-fidelity data, extraction of vital information and for sharing that information with all members of a team. And do it within the fast turnaround times required by winning teams.”

Key Features & Benefits
Animation and Presentation
Movies saved in MP4 format are ready for use with PowerPoint or YouTube. 3D PDFs exported from FieldView Express are easily shared with clients and management and will add interactive analysis to reports and presentations.
Automation
Restart files let you save the state of your session. Read a restart to quickly recreate your visualization, or apply the restart to a new dataset and get all the same surfaces, view, etc. applied to the new data. Powerful and easy-to-learn scripting tool, FVX, helps you minimize processing time and focus on analysis.
Data Reductions/Extracts
Save XDB files for any surface to create full fidelity extracts that are 10X to 1000X smaller than volume files. XDB files are numerically identical to surfaces you create in FieldView Express. Create XDBs where your solver runs, then send the smaller file to your local machine to post process more quickly. Move less data with faster read times and no loss of accuracy.
Parrallel Processes
Every FieldView Express license has the ability to use up to 64 parallel processes to reduce the time to read and post-process your data.
Efficient Use of HPC
Save time, leave your large files on the remote system and access them via batch or remote graphics.

Industry Applications
Aerospace:
In aerospace, FieldView Express is the de facto standard for CFD analysis and visualization. Complex, highly unsteady flows, very large datasets, and extensive parametric studies are the norm.
- Aerodynamics, High-lift devices, Aeroacoustics, Fluid-structure interaction and more.
Automotive
Tight production schedules and cost management pressures pose significant challenges. CFD workflow has to be fast and efficient, capable of handling hundreds of cases with ease and getting to vital and accurate answers fast.
- External aerodynamics, Powertrain, HVAC systems, Aeroacoustics/noise reduction and more.
Energy
Where physical testing is impractical, or impossible, and analyzing designs under a wide range of operating conditions is crucial, success depends on quickly making sense of large volumes of data, comparing results, and identifying areas of interest for further exploration.
- Emissions control, Wind energy, Fuel cells, Electric power generation
Defense
Researchers and engineers use FieldView Express to develop new CFD capabilities, increase proficiency, and create highly productive workflows.
- Army(Vertical lift and tilt rotor programs), Air Force (Joint Strike Fighter, Seek Eagle, Firebolt, Kestrel), Marines (V-22 marine aircraft), Navy (nuclear-powered ships, submarine hull flows, missiles) and more
