Scott Fowler is adventurous by nature, so it’s no surprise that he’s tackling his new professional role as Tecplot Product Manager with the same zeal that he brings to his favorite personal pursuits – namely rock-climbing, mountain biking and skiing. Crystal-clear Picture of Customer Needs Scott, a married father of two young sons, was recently promoted to the role that will make him the “face of Tecplot.” As the product […]
Blog #5 in the series The Trillion Cell Grand Challenge, written by Dr. Scott Imlay, Chief Technical Officer at Tecplot, Inc. “Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.” — Booker T. Washington In previous blogs, I’ve given the motivation for the Trillion Cell Challenge. In this blog I’d like to introduce the details of the challenge and give our results to date. Trillion-cell CFD Dataset At […]
The Trillion Cell Grand Challenge blog #4 by Dr. Scott Imlay, CTO, Tecplot, Inc. Big whorls have little whorls That feed on their velocity, And little whorls have lesser whorls And so on to viscosity. —Lewis F. Richardson This is a famous quote about the nature of turbulence: the energy in turbulence cascades down to smaller and smaller eddies until, at a certain length scale, the turbulence energy can be […]
Blog #3 in the series The Trillion Cell Grand Challenge is about technology trends and the I/O bottleneck. Forecasting is very difficult, especially about the future. —Old Danish Proverb In previous blogs I’ve introduced the Trillion Cell Challenge and given the motivation for why it is a worthy goal. Now I’d like to start discussing the technical obstacles involved in visualizing a solution with one trillion cells. Basic Visualization Pipeline […]
A capability of Tecplot Chorus is the ability to create projects from index files – in this case a CSV project. This video shows you how to quickly set up a project. […]
Case Study: Tecplot Chorus integrates with KARALIT CFD to save time with mesh-free CFD simulations and analyses The Immersed Boundary (IB) methodology, a mesh-free technique for running CFD simulations, has been around since the 1970s. Instead of running Navier-Stokes equations on grids that conform to the shape of an object, as is done with meshing, the IB technique immerses a CAD model of the object into a Cartesian grid and […]
Perform Complex Mathematical Data Transformations Using IF() Statements BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON—January 6, 2015—Tecplot, Inc. announced today that Tecplot 360 2015 Release 1 is now available for general use. Highlights of this release include: Conditional expressions in equations using IF() statements. Triangulation and advanced streamtrace seeding (by customer request). Arbitrary slice improvements to adjust the orientation of arbitrary slices. Improved options for appending data, drag-and-drop, and file dialog performance, especially on networks. […]

in 2030 we should expect the first LES calculations for a large full airplane configuration, and that will require one trillion cells. […]
There are several ways to calculate streamtraces constrained to a slice. […]
