“Time is an Illusion.” ― Albert Einstein. High fidelity CFD solvers are generally iterative in nature. They move the solution incrementally forward in time (or pseudo time for steady-state solutions) computing each new solution based on the previous solution. CFD engineers often write a snapshot of the solutions at periodic time steps so that they can follow its progress. CFD engineers want to verify that: The boundary conditions are behaving […]
Having a reliable, accurate, flexible and easy-to-use method to post process your results is key to effectively analyzing CFD, other simulation and test data results. Tecplot 360 is a suite of CFD visualization and analysis tools that can handle large data sets, automate workflows and visualize parametric results. Load Simulation And Test Data From Many Different Sources If you aggregate data from multiple simulation sources, in addition to test data, […]
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Conference AIAA SciTech 2018 Join Tecplot at AIAA SciTech at the Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee, Florida, January 8-12. Tecplot engineers will be on hand to answer your questions and give you a 1-on-1 demo of the recently released Tecplot 360 2017 R3. The benefits of this release include support for LaTeX fonts, VTK data loader support for VTU and VTM file formats, recording […]
We are excited to take part in an industry that never rests and is never satisfied. Our engineers are eager to bring new ways to visualize increasingly complex and unsteady data, and provide new analysis features, while maintaining the Tecplot promises of giving engineers complete control over their output, fast post-processing speed, report-quality XY, 2D and 3D plots, and excellent stability, service and support. […]
Tecplot RS Product Manager, Raja Olimuthu, answers 5 common reservoir simulation analysis questions. We love it when you ask questions! Here are a handful of questions and answers about Tecplot RS, our reservoir simulation visualization & analysis tool for the oil & gas industry. During our site visits and support calls, customers often ask these common questions. It occurred to me that there are a lot more of you that […]
By Tecplot’s Chief Technical Officer, Scott Imlay, PhD “In mathematics you don’t understand things. You just get used to them.” — Johann von Neumann I’ve written several blogs on Tecplot’s new SZL technology and how it speeds up the visualization of large CFD data sets by loading only those subzones (small chunks of data) that are needed for the desired visualization. We’ve demonstrated dramatic speed-ups for large data sets. For […]
Today’s low-cost computational resources have fundamentally changed the way we approach modern technical challenges. In the world of CFD, one of the most dramatic changes has been the increasing use of unsteady (transient) simulations, which allows engineers and scientists to study moving machinery and turbulence flows more effectively. This article is designed to show you how to work more easily with unsteady results using the improved quantitative capabilities in the […]
TecIO Read Capability A blog by Dr. Scott Imlay, Tecplot’s Chief Technical Officer “Good things come to those who wait!” – Guinness beer advertisement For many years, TecIO has been a library of utility functions that allow you to output Tecplot binary files directly from your application. There are two versions of TecIO, one for serial output, and one for MPI-based parallel output. The serial-output version can output either classic […]
FUN3D version 13, released in September 2016, supports writing binary files in the new SZL format. I’ve written in previous blogs about the benefits of SZL technology for visualization of large data files. With SZL technology, common visualization tasks are up to two orders of magnitude faster and data files are compressed by up to 50%. This change offers additional benefits to FUN3D/Tecplot users, especially for those running in parallel on […]
Scott Imlay has a need for speed. As a competitive triathlete, he’s always trying to better his time from the previous race. And as Tecplot’s chief technology officer (CTO), he was the visionary behind SZL, the company’s proprietary technology that allows Tecplot 360 to render images nearly seven times faster than earlier versions of the software. This dramatic performance improvement is the result of faster data load & analysis times, […]
