Korbin this more » example is of a flyer plate impact and weld study henceforth referred to as CTH Impact Example. This report will focus on Tecplot Chorus and its application to an example ensemble of data supplied by David J. It is quite likely that, as the scale of ensemble data increases, both of these tools (and possibly others) will be needed for different processing goals. Slycat and Tecplot Chorus each have their strengths, weaknesses, and overlapping capabilities. The project that funded this report and evaluation is also evaluating and guiding development with SNL’s Slycat. This report documents a preliminary evaluation of Tecplot Chorus for analyzing ensemble data from CTH simulations. This report contains the analysis and conclusions from evaluating Tecplot Chorus with an example problem that is relevant to Sandia National Laboratories. One such tool is Tecplot Chorus, whose strengths are visualizing ensemble metadata and linked images. More tools are needed to help provide rapid insight into these data sets to decrease manual processing time by the analyst and to increase knowledge the data can provide. Processing ensemble data will continue to require more resources as simulation complexity and HPC platform throughput increase. The exploration of large parameter spaces in search of problem solution and uncertainty quantifcation produces very large ensembles of data.
