Software Update
July 2009 EnSight on the Mac currently uses X11 for the GUI. In some cases the
X11 updates from Apple have caused problems for EnSight users, and the
purpose of this solution is to describe the known X11 issues running
EnSight on different versions of MacOS X.
*We currently recommend using EnSight 9.0.3(b) or greater in
combination with MacOS X 10.5.7 (with the standard Mac X11 2.1.6). For
more information, check out our EnSight on the Mac FAQ.
CEI is listed on Mac's Software Resources for Cluster Computing, specifically under Commercial Engineering Analysis Applications for Cluster Computing, click here to read more.
Application Stories
Perfecting a Life-Saving Blood Pump, RWTH Aachen University
Computational Analysis of Technical Systems (CATS) at the RWTH Aachen
University in Germany, use finite element analysis (FEA) techniques
using Apple Xserve clusters and Mac desktops using EnSight
post-processing software to analyze the results. For the full story,

August 2006 - NASA Ames purchases EnSight Gold licenses to enhance
visualization quality, collaboration. One of the main reasons
NASA Ames purchased EnSight was because it supports a mixed computing
environment such as the NASA Ames
Columbia supercomputer cluster and Apple Macintosh desktop
clients. For the full story, click here.
May 2004 - New meshing and visualization support affirms Mac as high-end technical platform. Click here for full story.
"Remote
environments like compute clusters will certainly
continue to be based in large part on Linux, and here the
multi-platform EnSight support is a big plus," says Marek Behr, deputy
head of Chair forComputational Mechanics at the Technical University of
Munich, who does his computation-intensive tasks on remote clusters. "I
can run EnSight on a Linux cluster at another site, and look at the
results on my Mac."
March 2004 - CEI adds Macintosh OS X support to its visualization software products, click here for the full story.
"EnSight
support further legitimizes OS X as the platform of choice for
scientific and technical computing," says Matthew Grismer, an aerospace
engineer. "I can now do all of my computational fluid dynamics research
- from grid generation, to compiling and running code, to
post-processing with EnSight - on one platform, and continue to use
that same platform for regular office automation."
