Ensight -- Create and Manipulate Variables

http://www.cadfamily.com/a/CAE_FEA_CFD/Ensight/Ensight----Create-and-Manipulate-Variables_6468.html

INTRODUCTION

When a results dataset is read into EnSight, associated variables are noted and listed in the Main Variables List.

However, a variable will remain deactivated (not loaded into memory) until some operation requires it or it is explicitly

activated (read into memory).

If an active variable is no longer required, you can deactivate it and free the associated memory.

BASIC OPERATION

Variable Activation

In most instances, variables are automatically activated as required. For example, if you create a contour using a

deactivated variable, EnSight will automatically activate the variable prior to creating the contour.

You can also activate variables explicitly using the Feature Detail Editor for Variables.

1. Open the Feature Detail Editor for Variables.
