01. What is Tecplot 360?
Tecplot 360 is CFD & Numerical Simulation Visualization Software.
If your work involves CFD post-processing or numerical simulation then
Tecplot 360 is the tool for you.
Tecplot 360 incorporates all the great features and functionality of
Tecplot Focus, and goes much further. Engineers doing CFD post-processing
and numerical simulation now have the advanced capabilities in XY and
2D plotting they need, combined with advanced visualization. All in one
tool.
02. On what computers does Tecplot 360 run?
Tecplot 360 runs on Windows 2000/XP PCs, Linux PCs, UNIX workstations
including those from HP, IBM, SGI, and SUN, and Mac OS X. Tecplot data
files, macro files, style files are transferable between all different
computers. For a full list of supported operating systems, click here.
03. Who uses Tecplot 360?
Tecplot 360 is for the CFD/Numerical Simulation engineer who needs a
complete 360 degree view of their work, with absolute flexibility in
how they analyze and present results. Visualizing large amounts of steady-state
or transient data quickly is the name of the game. With new plotting
tools, analyzing grids and flow fields is only a click away.
04. What does Tecplot 360 do?
It's post-processing and more. With one tool you can analyze and explore
complex datasets, arrange multiple XY, 2- and 3-D plots, create animations
and then communicate your results to colleagues and management with brilliant,
high-quality output.
Unlike our competition, Tecplot 360's full range of XY, 2D, and 3D capabilities,
multi-frame workspace, and high-quality output gives you total control
to get all the types of plots you want for effective analysis, presentation,
and publication. Tecplot 360 combines vital engineering plotting with
advanced data visualization in one tool.
05. How is Tecplot 360 different from Tecplot Focus?
At this point, Tecplot 360 is a superset of Tecplot Focus. Some key features
available in Tecplot 360 that are not in Tecplot Focus include:
- Larger data handling abilities: Load on demand and parallel processing
for fast time to first image and opening files not previously possible
- Loading
and animating transient solutions
- CFD/FEA specific data loaders
- CFD/FEA analysis functions
- Structural analysis visualization tools
- One-click animation controls
- More new plotting tools
06. How is Tecplot 360 different from Tecplot 10?
Tecplot 360 still has all the great features and functionality of Tecplot
10. We know that engineers doing CFD and numerical simulation post-processing
still need advanced capabilities in XY and 2-D plotting.
What really sets Tecplot 360 apart from Tecplot 10 is the horsepower
to handle large data . We've added load on demand, parallel processing,
as well as the ability for transient data analysis. The interface has
been overhauled to expose important exploration tools such as cut planes,
iso-surfaces and streamlines. You'll also find a number of new tools
to get the most out of your data.
