EnLiten is a 3D geometry player for viewing, analyzing and manipulating complex visualization scenarios. It requires no special software skills and runs on Windows, UNIX and Linux computers. EnLiten allows communication of high-end visualizations in the following application areas: computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), crash analysis, aerodynamics, and scientific visualization. EnLiten imports EnSight or EnSight Gold scenario files containing 3D models with associated rich geometry. Interactive collaboration between multiple EnLiten and EnSight users over a network is possible.

o Modeling
§ Object displays traces as point, spheres, line or ribbons, traces emitters to be built from simple points, lines, rakes, planes, nodes or an arbitrary part.
§ Transformation: Rotation, translation and mirror.
§ Editing and manipulation: enhances visualization by displaying elevated surface as a variable created by projecting away from a parent part provides individual manipulation and attribute control of analysis mesh or derived (clip planes, isosurfaces, particle traces, etc.) parts allows parts to be copied, cut, merged into a single part, and converted to a new representation enables part copy to be positioned independent of the original part in order to display a different variable.
o Rendering
§ Cameras shows the support of unsteady results data, node positions and structure (connectivity) allows time steps to be changed at the click of a button automatically recalculates and redisplays existing objects to reflect each new state provides interpolation between time steps for low-resolution datasets provides dynamic plots that are linked to the transient display of parent part variables.
§ EnLiten allows sites to create their own interfaces to input devices (such as the wand device for the Pyramid System ImmersaDesk.) Line culling for faster line performance. Duplicate edges of polygons are removed. Faster transparency option. New point cloud bounding box option.
§ Light shows Transparency( simple screen door or alpha shading), length parameters.
§ Other render is clipping and isosurface algorithms will execute in parallel when running on a shared memory architecture machine. Particle trace (streamlines) algorithm will execute in parallel when running on a shared memory architecture machine.
o Animation
§ Enables animation of particles traces , provides animation of plane clips or isosurfaces (sweep through a model), allows " flipbook" animation of transient data allows model (mesh) movement, with or without changing topology, supports load animation, provides Keyframe animation for automated model fly-arounds and zooms.
§ Object: Scale, rotation, dimension, color, point, shades, and transparency
§ Controller: Mouse, Keyframe, and system.
§ Animation: view models and animations in full screen and 3D stereo
§ Basic Animation: embed models and animations in MS PowerPoint, MS Internet Explorer and Netscape
o File formats
