MENUThe Egg Came First!
Subzone load-on-demand (SZL) minimizes the amount of data loaded by Tecplot 360. The basic idea is to divide a large dataset into small pieces, or subzones, and load only those subzones needed for the desired plot. […]

Using MRI in Engineering Flows
At Stanford, the group led by John Eaton has pioneered the use of MRI to measure 3D velocity (MRV) and 3D concentration (MRC) in engineering flows. […]
Tecplot 360 Helps Improve Care for Patients in the Area of Speech
“Without Tecplot 360 this work would not be possible,” says Xudong Zheng, Ph.D.1 Dr. Zheng, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maine, contributed this case study about his work. The Significance of This Research According to the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communications Disorders (NIDCD), voice dysfunction affects approximately 7.5 million people in the U.S. every year.2 Educators have a high incidence of voice dysfunction, and others who […]
Best Picture Award in Physical Science
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. […]
Tecplot File Types and an Example Macro
Understanding Tecplot file types helps you work more efficiently and get the most out of Tecplot 360. In this Tecplot Tip we define each Tecplot file type and show you an example Tecplot Macro. […]
From Atoms to Airplanes
In the world of chemistry and material science, “first principles” means quantum mechanics. Software has been available for some time to compute the electron wave functions from the material composition (the type and location of the atoms in the material). […]
Turbulent Flows with a Gas-Liquid Interface
This case study discusses research focused on the study of turbulent flows – heat and gas exchanges at the atmosphere-ocean interface. […]
Tecplot® RS™ 2013 R1
Tecplot’s reservoir simulation visualization and analysis tool now gives users the ability to identify fault surfaces and display them in 3D grid plots along with grid layers and streamlines. BELLEVUE, WA–July 19, 2013–Tecplot®, Inc. has released a major update for Tecplot® RS™ 2013, the company’s reservoir simulation visualization and analysis tool for oil and gas reservoir modeling. The Release 1 (R1) version gives users the ability to explore the flow […]
Making Sense of the Transition to Turbulence
Researchers at UT-Austin are studying flow structures to understand what causes the complex process in the transition to turbulence. […]
Analyzing turbulence structures for the Air Force
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. […]
