Configure angles in radians, degrees or arbitrary units. Select between linear or logarithmic radius. Fluid-structure Interaction FSI : Load structural analysis and CFD solutions simultaneously to see material deformation and fluid flow changes in one plot. We offer several commercial license types to fit any size and kind of organization.
We also have academic licensing. Q: How can I get started using Tecplot ? The fastest way to get up and running with Tecplot is follow the steps in Getting Started with Tecplot For questions on how to perform specific actions in Tecplot , we recommend referring to the product User Manual in our documentation. The documentation links are also available from the Welcome Screen after you run Tecplot Q: What is the first thing I need to do in order to make the plots I want to see?
Also visit Getting Started with Tecplot Q: Where do I download the latest software version? Tecplot can be downloaded through our customer portal, My Tecplot link in the top menu. You will be prompted to log in to access the software downloads. If you do not already have an account, you can request one. Q: How can I get a Mac version of Tecplot? Supported Mac versions of Tecplot software can be downloaded from our customer portal, My Tecplot link at the top of page.
Q: How do I export an image when I have hundreds of zones? If you have hundreds of zones it can be time consuming to switch to each zone and export an image.
Macros can be used here to automatically activate each zone in succession and export an image. Check the Scripting Guide in our documentation for additional information about these commands. Q: Will macros and add-ons be compatible with Tecplot EX? Newer Tecplot versions are backwards compatible with earlier versions of Tecplot Q: What versions of Tecplot software do you currently support?
Q: Can my older version of Tecplot read. Versions of Tecplot released before cannot read SZL. We recommend updating to the newest version.
Q: How do I set-up transient time-varying animation in Tecplot ? The Edit Time Strand tool can be used to set-up your data to be recognized as Transient. A Strand and SolutionTime will need to be assigned for each zone. Zones that are active at the same time step need to share SolutionTime, but have different Strand IDs. Q: Where can I get more specific technical support? Q: What platforms does the latest version of Tecplot support?
Platforms supported by the latest version of Tecplot are listed in the Requirements tab. You can also find requirements in the Installation Guide in our documentation or linked from the Tecplot Welcome Screen. For older versions, refer to the install. Tecplot version and features are listed on our Features Over Time.
If you are running an older versions, you can refer to the release. SZL stands for subzone load-on-demand. It is our proprietary technology that increases memory efficiency by combining data management algorithms, advanced data requirement predictors, parallelization and additional code optimizations. Q: I installed the trial version, do I need to uninstall it before installing my purchased version?
You do not need to uninstall the trial version. The installation of Tecplot software remains the same regardless of the license type. Q: If I want to install Tecplot Software on a new computer, is a new license key needed? The answer depends on which type of license you have. If you have a Single-User license, you will need to submit a License Transfer Request from our customer portal, My Tecplot link at the top of page.
Once that is complete you can use your Activation Code to obtain a key for your new computer. If you are not using an Activation code, you can generate a new license key from My Tecplot or by contacting Technical Support. If you have a network license, you will not need a new license key. Install your software on the new computer, choose the network install mode, and include your license server name when prompted. Your software should run successfully as long as your license manager is set up correctly.
Q: Can multiple versions of Tecplot software be run on the same computer? Yes, multiple versions of Tecplot software can run on the same computer. Yes, the products can run on the same computer without conflicting with each other. Tecplot models this as multiple zones with the same strand ID but varying solution times.
Time for some definitions:. Finally, what if we have a zone that should be displayed at all time steps i. For that case, Tecplot reserves the Strand ID of zero:. Note that the grouping of zones is arbitrary in our example; your dataset may have the static zone s first, or it may have the transient zones grouped together by strand, rather than by time step.
Given our sample dataset, we see a dialog like this image shown here. On the left-hand side, we see a list of all zones in the dataset. We can tell the dataset has no time information, because the Solution Time and Time Strand values at the bottom left of the dialog are both zero. To add time information to the dataset, we first need to select which zones are transient. Because zone 5 is static, we only need to select zones Note that if your zones are organized in a strange fashion, you can sort the zone list to group zones together more logically.
Next, because we have multiple zones at each time step, we need to specify how the zones are ordered in the top right of the dialog. In our case, the zones are grouped together by time step, and we have two zones per time step.
Next, we assign strand IDs, starting with a base ID of 1.
