New release of Tecplot 10 includes 64bit support, new development tools and new data loaders.
Tecplot 10 Release 3 is the latest and most powerful data visualisation and technical plotting software from Tecplot.
Tecplot is the company's flagship data visualisation product.
It is technical plotting software with extensive x-y, 2 and 3D capabilities for engineers, scientists and researchers visualising data from analyses, simulations and experiments.
Tecplot 10 includes new capabilities in three key areas: plotting tools, data management, and the user interface.
These enhancements help give Tecplot 10 users complete control to explore, analyse and communicate their results.
This flexibility is the key differentiator between Tecplot 10 and competing data visualisation products, which restrict or limit the options users have to create the exact plot that they want.
The most significant new feature of Tecplot 10 Release 3 is 64bit support.
Tecplot now takes advantage of the 64bit operating systems from Hewlett-Packard, Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems and Linux.
The main performance-related benefit of 64bit computing is the ability to access more physical memory.
Users running Tecplot on 64bit systems will be able to load files that previously exceeded the 4Gbyte limit of 32bit processors.
Other new features of Tecplot 10 Release 3 include enhancements to the Addon Developer's Kit (ADK) and the Tecplot GUI Builder (TGB); and new data loaders for loading Hierarchical Data Format 5 (HDF5) and CFD General Notation System (CGNS) data files.
The ADK is a set of documentation, tools and utilities that assist developers in the creation of Tecplot addons.
The TGB is a tool for generating platform-independent graphical user interface (GUI) code.
Users now have the ability to modify the entire menu system and replace the Tecplot sidebar.
Also new is support for bitmapped buttons in the TGB and enhanced development tools.
Together, these new options give application developers full control to implement the functionality and user interface they desire.
"The goal of this release, as with all of our releases, is to continue to provide our users with value-added improvements", said Mike Peery, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tecplot.
"In the case of the new 64bit support, we felt it was imperative that Tecplot take advantage of the 64bit operating systems because our customers continue to push the envelope on the amount of data they are analysing".
As for the other new features, each was made to increase the productivity of Tecplot users", Peery added.
Tecplot 10 Release 3 is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and most Unix workstations and is supplied and supported in the UK and Ireland by Adept Scientific.
