The 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. […]
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). […]
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 […]
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. […]
Top 5 Reasons to Use Best-in-Class Tools for Design and Optimization
Engineers face highly dimensional problems which require a flexible architecture that integrated solutions often lack. Read this blog for 5 reasons best-in-class tools have the advantage. […]
SU2 Project: Getting it Installed
Recently, I heard that Stanford University released an open-source CFD solver called SU2. I was very excited to give SU2 a go. […]
MATLAB® to Tecplot Converter
Wen Long, a research scientist in the DOE Pacific Northwest National Lab has created some beautiful plots for his work studying ocean currents in Puget Sound waterways off the coast of Washington State. […]
