Best Picture Award in Physical Science

Tecplot Blog, Tecplotters September 25, 2013

Long time Tecplot customer, Frank Muldoon, and his colleague, Hendrick Kuhlman, at the Vienna University of Technology, received the “Best Picture in Physical Science award” for this image of Invariant Streamtubes of a Hydrothermal Wave in a Thermocapillary Liquid Bridge. Congratulations to you both! Abstract In microgravity, large-size cylindrical liquid bridges can be established, because they do not break. Differential heating of the support disks creates a thermocapillary flow which is […]

Tecplot Add-on Provides Min & Max Values for Selected Zones

Add-ons, Tecplot 360, Tecplot Blog, Tecplot Tip August 15, 2013

Michael Connelly recently retired from his position of modeling contaminant migration in ground water flow at Washington State’s Hanford Nuclear Reservation.  Mike has been using Tecplot 360 to visualize and plot the results of his simulations.  Over the years, he has become quite proficient at creating add-ons to extend Tecplot 360’s capabilities. Mike’s most recent add-on is called LocateZonesMinMax. It provides the minimum and maximum for a single zone or […]

What is TecIO?

TecIO and SZL, Tecplot Blog July 27, 2013

TecIO allows you to create native Tecplot binary files (*.plt) or SZL binary files (*.szplt) directly from your application. TecIO-MPI now supports the reading and writing of Tecplot SZL binary files (*.szplt). Files may be written in parallel from an MPI-based parallel solver. Tecplot SZL (*.szplt) files are compatible with Tecplot 360 EX 2015 R2 or later. Tecplot PLT (*.plt) files are compatible with Tecplot Focus and Tecplot 360 versions […]

Analyzing turbulence structures for the Air Force

Tecplot Blog, Tecplotters July 2, 2013

Jeff Chu is under a lot of pressure. He’s a graduate research assistant at The University of Texas Austin, analyzing turbulence by looking at how and where turbulence structures are formed as they flow over various surfaces. Chu’s research is being funded by the U.S. Air Force. The data is massive and the stakes are high. If the Air Force doesn’t see value in the terabytes of data produced by […]

Top 5 Reasons To Use Best-In-Class Tools Over Integrated Solutions

Chorus, Tecplot 360, Tecplot Blog April 24, 2013

Integrated solutions for CFD and CAE tools provide a convenient framework for engineers using simulation in their design process. Although integrated tools like ANSYS Workbench and COMSOL Multiphysics are designed to provide flexibility on solution methodology and analysis, there are significant benefits to using best-in-class tools for design and optimization. Top 5 Reasons to Use Best-in-Class Tools for Design and Optimization More flexibility – Engineering practices are evolving over time and […]
