Some “Fishy Business” for the Army Corps of Engineers

Geoscience, Tecplot 360, Tecplot Blog February 23, 2011

By Dave Taflin Developer | Tecplot, Inc. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) mission is to provide vital public engineering services in peace and war to strengthen our nation’s security, energize the economy, and reduce risks from disasters. Maintaining the nation’s inland waterways is found beneath that large umbrella and in support of that mission, USACE has been developing an exciting new way of protecting and preserving migratory fish […]

Making the Most of Your Time

Tecplot 360, Tecplot Blog January 6, 2011

Way back in 2005, we introduced support for transient data sets, greatly simplifying the workflow of visualizing transient data sets. However, there was one big catch: time information had to be available in your data files, and Tecplot 360 had to know how to read it. We added support for reading time information from several file formats (FLUENT, CGNS, Plot-3D, Tecplot, etc.), but files without time information or in a […]

Data flexibility is key to helping engineers manage their work day

Tecplot Blog, Tecplotters August 12, 2010

By Tom Chan I spend a good portion of my working day talking with CFD engineers—Tecplot users and non-users alike—about their post-processing visualization needs. Over the last six months, I’ve heard from a growing number of engineers who cite an urgent need for greater data flexibility in the tools they use. This shouldn’t be that surprising since most of the work that engineers do falls into four categories: analysis, problem […]

Best Formats for Your Tecplot Images

Tecplot 360, Tecplot Blog July 6, 2010

By Steve Robinson Technical Support Specialist | Tecplot, Inc. In my technical support role here at Tecplot, Inc., I have learned that choosing the best plotting image formats may not be the highest priority for many scientists and engineers, but it definitely is considered important. After all, it would be a shame to spend all of that time carefully analyzing your results and making those plots oh-so-pretty only to have […]

Building Tecplot Add-ons with CMake

Add-ons, Tecplot Blog May 18, 2010

Tecplot add-ons are a powerful way to customize and extend Tecplot’s capabilities. Unfortunately, building cross-platform add-ons can be a pain: there are two completely different methods of building (Visual Studio on Windows, “make” on other platforms), which means maintaining two separate build systems (Visual Studio project files and Makefiles). One solution to this problem is CMake, which allows you write a single set of cross-platform build files. Using CMake to […]
