I am new to Unreal and working on a simulation for a fire emergency scenario on a hospital floor. To achieve a real life based fire simulation, the data for the fire growth and smoke modelling, etc. are to be bought in through an engineering simulation software like Ansys and C-fast. Is there any way to script in that data into UE4s particle system? This is very important to me. If there is anything else that can be done to achieve similar results. Thank you so much.
Hi SalvusApfel! I am glad someone else has been trying to do a similar thing. I would like you to know that since it has been a long time that I posted this question. I have made it possible by using the Ensight tool provided by ansys to convert data files like FDS to get .obj files and then sequencing them in max to make a flipbook for Unreal engine.
Now, how do I do this?
I export a .csv file from Ansys which gets me the location of each node (x,y,z) and its velocity (u,v,w) of the simulation. Important thing here is your nodes have to be arranged in a cuboid!
I am trying to integrate ansys Electromagnetic Suite 16 into cadence. I have installed Ansys Electromagnetic Suite 16 and the ECAD (which is the interface to the virtuoso) and do exactly what the configure says as follows:
In the /eda/ansys/ECADTranslators2016.0/Linux/LayoutIntegrations folder, there is a file VirtuosoTranslator.cxt and a folder name 64bit which contain the file VirtuosoTranslator.cxt as the same name in the folder /eda/ansys/ECADTranslators2016.0/Linux/LayoutIntegrations, I have changed the VirtuosoTranslator.cxt. but the error still occurs.
In general, if the directory structure of the context files is correct, attempting to load the path to the 32-bit context file should automatically switch across to use the path for the 64bit context. No need to change the path you're loading. If you directly give the path to the 64bit context, that would work too - if it's really a 64-bit context - but in general that shouldn't be necessary.
One thing I would suggest is that this is the initial (base) release of IC616 and was released in May 2013. If you're trying to use a 2016 version of the ANSYS tools, perhaps you should be using a more recent version of IC - either the latest IC616 ISR (even that would be from December 2015) or better still IC617? ANSYS may specify what version they support, so it's worth checking that.
I suspect the ANSYS Electromagnetic Suite is messed up (or the ECAD tools) - and that the 64 bit context is not actually a 64 bit context. As I said before, you should contact ANSYS, since it's their product... we have no access to it, whereas they should have access to Virtuoso in order to support their interface as one of our Connections partners.
hi,i have solved the last program and integrated the ansys ECAD successfully by running the IC615 in 32 bit mode(it seems that this version only support to 615 32 bit). Now I could see the menu from the layout window. but when I click it, there is a error as follows:
