CFX Viewer

CFX Viewer is a focused CFD data viewer that accepts CFX export files and related CFD formats to provide rapid metadata extraction and lightweight previews for engineers, researchers, and quality assurance teams. It solves the need to quickly validate file structure, inspect mesh and time-step information, and assess data readiness before running full simulations or post-processing.
Conceptually, the tool operates as a parser plus preview generator. It reads the file header and data blocks to identify version, mesh type, and available time steps, then computes basic metrics such as total cells, surface faces, and mean cell size. A visual thumbnail or lightweight grid sketch is produced to help users understand domain topology without opening a full post-processor.
Core features include automatic format detection, robust metadata extraction, a high-contrast preview image, and options to export metadata as JSON for downstream automation. Optional capabilities include batch processing, selective field filtering, and streaming parsing for large files. The tool emphasizes data integrity by reporting parsing status and detected anomalies.
Use cases span design validation, pre-flight data checks, academic research, and consultancy workflows where quick access to CFX data characteristics improves collaboration and turnaround time. Unique value propositions include a dedicated CFX-oriented parser, privacy-preserving in-session processing, and consistent metadata schemas that simplify integration with reporting pipelines and QA dashboards.
