Tecplot Chorus

For engineers who use CFD for configuration analysis or optimization, and need to predict the performance over the operating envelope, Tecplot Chorus simplifies the understanding of data generated by tens or thousands of
simulation cases, to help you make better decisions faster. Tecplot Chorus integrates metadata analytics with field data exploration in one easy-to-use environment to help you better understand the underlying physics that drive the trends and anomalies observed in the metadata.

Tecplot 360

Tecplot 360 is a Computational Fluid Dynamics

Computational fluid dynamics

Computational fluid dynamics, usually abbreviated as CFD, is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows. Computers are used to perform the calculations required to simulate the interaction of liquids and gases with...

) 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 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

Reservoir simulation

Reservoir simulation is an area of reservoir engineering in which computer models are used to predict the flow of fluids through porous media.-Uses:...
