Tecplot Focus enables you to quickly plot all your engineering and test data exactly the way you want. Analyze and explore complex data sets, arrange multiple XY, 2D and 3D plots, and communicate your results to colleagues and management with brilliant, high-quality output. Be more productive by automating routine data analyses and plotting tasks.
What’s New in Tecplot Focus 2013 R1
This most significant feature in this release of Tecplot Focus is the improved Search in Help.
The search function in the Tecplot Focus Help now automatically searches for related words (“axis” will find “axes” as well), properly ignores “noise” words, and corrects your spelling to the closest known word (if it chooses the wrong word, you can fix it).
Tecplot Focus users with current Software Maintenance Service (SMS) subscriptions can upgrade to the newest version of Tecplot Focus at no cost.
