Tecplot is the name of a family of visualization software tools developed by Tecplot, Inc., which is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington. (The firm was formerly operated as Amtec Engineering.)

Tecplot Chorus

Tecplot Chorus is a simulation analytics framework used for comparing collections of CFD simulations. The software unites physics visualization with data management and analytics in a single environment.

Tecplot 360

Tecplot 360 is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and numerical simulation software package used in post-processing simulation results.[1][2][3] Tecplot 360 is also used in chemistry applications to visualize molecule structure by post-processing charge density data.[4]

Common tasks associated with post-processing analysis of flow solver (e.g. Fluent, OpenFOAM) data include calculating grid quantities (e.g. aspect ratios, skewness, orthogonality and stretch factors), normalizing data; Deriving flow field functions like pressure coefficient or vorticity magnitude, verifying solution convergence, estimating the order of accuracy of solutions, interactively exploring data through cut planes (a slice through a region), iso-surfaces (3-D maps of concentrations), particle paths (dropping an object in the "fluid" and watching where it goes).

Tecplot 360 may be used to visualize output from programming languages such as Fortran.[5][6] Tecplot also supports data import from ANSYS, Microsoft Excel, FLOW3D, ASCII files, and its own native binary format.[7] ParaView supports Tecplot format through a VisIt importer.[8][9][10]

Tecplot Focus

Tecplot Focus is plotting software designed for measured field data, performance plotting of test data, mathematical analysis, and general engineering plotting.

Tecplot RS

Tecplot RS is a tool tailored towards visualizing the results of reservoir simulations, which model the flow of fluids through porous media, as in oil and gas fields, and aquifers.
