Students

You must have an appointment at the University of Washington or be enrolled in a UW course to use the software. The software may be run on UW owned, or personally owned equipment.

Rights to use the software end when your affiliation with the UW ends.

Cost:

Free

Software Overview:

Tecplot is used by engineers and scientists who need to create a wide range of high-quality plots from simple XY plots to sophisticated 3-D plots from data sets of up to millions of data points. Many Tecplot users are post-processing data created by finite-difference and finite-element numerical simulations of physical processes like fluid dynamics, geophysics, structural dynamics, and electromagnetics.

Tecplot aids engineers and scientists in doing analyses, simulations, or experiments, and helps them explore their data and produce informative 2- and 3-D graphical representations of their data. Tecplot can also create presentation-quality plots and animations and prepare plots for the Web.

License Details:

The UW site license is provided by the College of Engineering.

Tecplot is available at this site for many operating systems including Windows, Mac, HP, Sun, IBM and Linux.

Tecplot 360 2010 Release Notes

Install doc

Installation Instructions:

All tecplot software for all operating systems can be downloaded from the College of Engineering distribution server or directly from tecplot
You will need the UW license number to download.

After you "purchase" tecplot here, you will be sent a confirmation email with links to download the license file "tecplotlm.lic".

During installation you will be asked for a license type, select "Purchased".
When asked for a license number, enter the UW license number given to you when you "purchased" tecplot. You will be asked again for license type. This time the options are "Network or Site" or "Single-User". The option you select here will determine which license file to use.

At the end of the installation you may be prompted to activate tecplot or send the contents of file "myhostids.txt" to tecplot tech support. This is not needed. Simply replace the contents of the tecplotlm.lic file automatically installed on your computer with the file you downloaded.

The license file is different depending on whether you selected single user or network install. Network installs require you run a license manager server.
