Tecplot SDK

For Developers

Engineering Visualization Framework

Tecplot SDK is an engineering visualization framework that provides developers of scientific software a fast path to integrate high quality visualization and visual data services into their application. Tecplot SDK leverages the core technology of proven Tecplot desktop solutions (Tecplot 360, Tecplot Focus, and Tecplot RS) used by more than 30,000 users worldwide.

Your challenge is to build quality products on time and within budget. Tecplot SDK enables you to meet these goals by adding sophisticated data visualization capabilities to your applications, in a fraction of the time and cost it would take to build from scratch.

Tecplot SDK adds data visualization and plotting technology to solvers, simulation codes, and analysis software. Combine Tecplot SDK with your application as a loosely linked plotting tool, a tightly integrated visualization engine, or anywhere in between. Tecplot SDK provides proven, customizable visualization capabilities - with ongoing support throughout your product's lifecycle.
