Software: Tecplot

Sales and Terms | Downloads | Installation | Support | UWare Link

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.
