Tecplot has long been the data visualization software of choice for scientists and engineers who need to create high-spec plots and animations from large sets of data. Now these users have even more options to choose from, with the announcement of not one, but two new versions of Tecplot.
Over the years, Tecplot has grown to serve two distinct application areas: visualization of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and numerical simulation data; and XY and 2D engineering plotting. Tecplot 360 is a full CFD post-processing tool with all the horsepower you need for large data visualization and transient analysis, as well as new tools for analysing numerical simulation results. With one-click exploration tools, extensive quantitative capabilities and high quality output, Tecplot 360 combines vital engineering plotting with advanced data visualization in one tool.
Tecplot Focus is the solution for engineering applications requiring performance plots and other multi-dimensional plots of the highest quality. With all the capabilities of the current release of Tecplot (version 10), Tecplot Focus offers extensive XY, 2D and 3D plotting capabilities, macros, multi-page layouts and much more too. |
