Tecplot 360ex 2020 R2 m1 (2020.2.1.112919)

The Tecplot development team is pleased to announce the availability of Tecplot 360ex 2020 R2 m1 (2020.2.1.112919) is a powerful tool for visualizing a wide range of technical data. It offers line plotting, 2D and 3D surface plots in a variety of formats, and 3D volumetric visualization.

Tecplot 360 2020 R2 - Release Date: December 9, 2020

- Tecplot Chorus – Chorus returns with support for 4k monitors and newer operating systems.
- Faster variable calculations – Variables calculated under the Analyze>Calculate Variables menu are now multi-threaded, providing up to 6x faster variable calculations.
- CGNS 4 file support – The CGNS loader is now built against CGNS 4.1.2. CGNS 4 added capabilities which allow for faster parallel write of polyhedral data. For the best performance, use HDF5 backed files instead of ADF backed files.
- Exodus II file support – Tecplot 360 now offers a new data loader for the Exodus II file format.
- Ability to split a zone into distinct connected regions – A new function has been added to PyTecplot and the Tecplot 360 macro language to create new zones from isolated regions in one or more finite element zones.
PyTecplot: tecplot.data.extract.extract_connected_regions()
Macro: $!ExtractConnectedRegions
- Reference variables by name – Tecplot 360 can now save variables by name in macros, layouts, and stylesheets and use names when loading data and retaining the existing style. This capability must be turned on in the tecplot.cfg file. See:
$!Compatibility UseNamesForVariableAssignments = YES
Setting this to “YES” will instruct Tecplot 360 to save variable references by name instead of number. Note that if you have duplicate variable names or variable aliases Tecplot 360 will pick the first variable matching that name.

Bug Fixes and Minor Enhancements:
- Arbitrary slices with SZL data no longer have holes in them.
- CONVERGE loader now supports Boundaries with an ID of zero.
- OpenFOAM loader now supports files written with foam-extend.
- Fixed problems loading CONVERGE files with zero size boundaries.
- Added support for CONVERGE 3.1 file format.
- Edges are now drawn correctly for physically collapsed cells.
- Fixed issue with some dialogs on Windows would not close using the Close icon at the upper right of the dialog.
- Fixed issue in TecIO-MPI where .szplt output file corruption occasionally happened using certain versions of OpenMPI (issue was observed with OpenMPI 3.1.5 and may have affected newer versions as well)



Tecplot 360 is a suite of CFD visualization and analysis tools that can handle large data sets, automate workflows, and visualize parametric results. You’ll be able to quickly make engineering decisions and communicate your results with integrated XY, 2D, and 3D plotting.

In 2017, Tecplot 360 was extended to include the ability to automate workflows with Python scripts (PyTecplot), access data remotely (SZL Server) and explore a parametric design space (Chorus). These additional capabilities are built into 2017 and later releases of Tecplot 360 and are available to customers with TecPLUS maintenance service.

A parametric design space analysis tool, Chorus is included with Tecplot 360 and later versions. Chorus has a unique set of features that help scientists and engineers explore large data sets from multiple simulations, compare results and evaluate overall system performance. Tecplot Chorus helps engineers who run and generate many simulation or test data sets.

Tecplot 360 2020 R2 represents our commitment to helping engineers and scientists analyze their results quickly and easily. The reintroduction of Tecplot Chorus ensures that you’re able to understand your simulated results on the whole rather than just as individual cases. We’ve also improved the speed of variable calculations, in some cases up to 6x faster, as well as making Tecplot 360 compatible with additional file formats.
