Tecplot's native data format is PLT or SZPLT. Tecplot 360 may be used to visualize output from programming languages such as Fortran. 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). Fluent, OpenFOAM) data include calculating grid quantities (e.g. Ĭommon tasks associated with post-processing analysis of flow solver (e.g. Tecplot 360 is also used in chemistry applications to visualize molecule structure by post-processing charge density data. Tecplot 360 is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and numerical simulation software package used in post-processing simulation results. In 2016, the firm was acquired by Vela Software, an operating group of Constellation Software, Inc.

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