Finite Element Method (FEM) Simulation Post-processing with ParaView

Finite Element Method based simulations are widely used across scientific and engineering applications.. From fluid dynamics and acoustics to structural mechanics. ParaView provides a flexible environment for exploring simulation results, creating visualizations, and post-processing data.

During this webinar, Kitware’s experts will demonstrate how ParaView can be used to perform common FEM post-processing tasks, from basic operations to more complex time-dependent analysis.

Attendees will learn how to visualize deformations, compute and analyze common quantities such as Von Mises stress, identify regions that satisfy specific conditions, and explore results over time. The webinar will also highlight ParaView’s broader visualization capabilities, including slicing, clipping, or showing streamlines, glyphs, and isosurfaces, combined with FEM-specific analysis

Live Q&A throughout the presentation.
