Version 9.0 of Amtec's technical plotting software, Tecplot, now includes
an interactive 3D slicing tool and iso-surface exploration tools, which
allow rapid exploration of 3D data sets to determine variations in the
field variables, uncover hidden anomalies and provide visual data
analysis. The new version also renders 3D data up to 100 times faster
than version 8.0, enabling plots of very large data sets and full
rotation of rendered objects.
Available from, and supported by Adept Scientific in the UK, Tecplot 9.0
can load and plot data organised in a variety of grid structures used in
physics simulation programs such as fluid dynamics, electromagnetics and
heat transfer. Data points can be arranged in multiple blocks of
rectangular and body-fitted curvilinear grids, and unstructured finite
element grids made up of triangles, quadrilaterals, prisms and bricks.
The package can also interpolate random or irregular data into grid
structures and even triangulate the data points.
