UFAT

Abstract

UFAT is a batch program that provides analysis of unsteady flows. It supports PLOT3D format multi-block curvilinear grids with moving geometry. UFAT provides the following visualization techniques: Stream lines, Path lines, Streak lines, Time lines, Stream surfaces and ribbons, Scalar/smooth shaded color contoured grid surfaces, Vector plot, Vortex core detection. UFAT does not provide a graphics user interface; all graphics results are saved to a metafile for playback. The graphics metafile can be displayed using FAST . UFAT allows a job to run in several sessions and can handle hundreds of timesteps of the flow data. In a typical session, the user would first run UFAT to compute graphics objects using one of the visualization techniques listed above, and then run FAST to render the graphics objects.
