More CFD simulations are being run, grid sizes are getting larger, and data sets are being stored remotely. It’s essential that you have the right tools to effectively analyze your results—whether they are CFD, other simulations or test data. The right tools handle large data sets, automate workflows, and visualize parametric results. The right tools help you spend less time waiting and more time discovering.
Tecplot 360 helps you make engineering decisions quickly by integrating XY, 2D, and 3D plots. And it helps you communicate your results with brilliant images and animations—plotted exactly the way you want. You also have the ability to:
- Automate the boring stuff with Python scripting
- Access large, remote data with client-server
- Never miss a result with a parametric analysis tool
Analyze Complex Results
- Load your data with support for 27 CFD, FEA, structural analysis, and industry-standard data formats.
- Unique multi-frame environment with multiple pages for reporting and comparing solutions.
- Understand XY, Polar, 2D and 3D plots using unique linking capabilities.
- Animate and step through transient solutions with video player-style controls like forward, backward, loop, bounce, and throttle control.
- Explore with interactive slicing, iso-surface, and streamtrace tools.
- Automatically extract key flow features such as vortex cores, shock surfaces.
Explore Billion Cell Models with SZL Technology
- Leverage multi-core desktop systems with multi-threaded capability.
- Dramatic performance improvements for large finite-element data:
- Load times up to 23 times faster.
- Peak memory usage reduced up to 93%.
- Files sizes compressed up to 70%.
- Analyze large finite-element data sets quickly and easily on a typical engineering laptop.
Verify Engineering Designs
- Assess your grid quality with 28 grid quality functions including aspect ratios, Y+, skewness, orthogonality, and stretch factors.
- Validate computational output with experimental data in by a single plotting environment.
- Estimate the order of accuracy of your numerical solutions with Richardson extrapolation analysis.
- Interactively explore and sweep through flow field to check that flow features align with the grid.
- Compare multiple models simultaneously, including Fluid-structure Interaction (FSI) visualization.
Communicate and Publish Reports
- Copy and paste images directly into Microsoft Office applications.
- Export professional, presentation-quality vector and raster formats.
- Present multiple, time-linked views of your plots with Tecplot 360’s unique multi-frame layout workspace.
- Optimize animations for PowerPoint and the Web.
- Create reports using unique multipage layouts.
Automate Routine Tasks
- Instantly apply a plot’s style attributes and layouts to a different set of data with layout and style files.
- Leverage over 180 macro functions to automate common analysis and plotting tasks.
- Create human readable text based macros by recording on screen actions.
What's New in Tecplot 360 2018 Release 1
Tecplot 360 EX 2018 R1 continues our commitment to improving the power, performance, usability, and reliability of our industry-leading flagship data visualization product.
Loader Updates
- The OpenFOAM loader is much improved.
- The EnSight loader now has the ability to load CONVERGE data. Memory usage has been reduced for data nearing the 32-bit integer limit, and a fix was implemented when loading particle zones.
- VTK loader PVTU piece merging into a single zone was fixed.
- SZL Server had various fixes.
Slicing and Isosurfaces
- The original mesh of the source zone is preserved when slicing or creating an isosurface using the new “All Polygons” option of the Surface Generation Method.
- A new “Auto” setting for the Surface Generation Method selects the option best suited for the zones participating in the slice or isosurface generation.
XY Curve Fits
- Extended Curve Fits are available in the Mapping Style dialog and line context menus, including Akima Spline, General Curve Fit, and Stineman Interpolation.
- The Curve Fit Settings dialogs received an Update button to apply the setting changes without dropping the dialog.
PyTecplot Updates
- Probe-on-surface function to query nearest locations on surfaces zones.
- Released with PyTecplot 0.9.4.
