Tecplot 360 is a CFD visualization and analysis software that includes an Excel add-in (or robust import features) to load data from Excel spreadsheets for creating plots and visualizations.
Tecplot
- Excel
- 3D Graphics, Aerospace, Data Analytics, Fluid Dynamics, Simulation
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Design for Manufacturing (DfM), Design Optimization, Engineering, User experience (UX)
Features:
- CFD data visualization, engineering plotting (XY, 2D, 3D), contour plots, vector plots, streamlines, animations, data import from various formats including Excel, data analysis tools within Tecplot, automation via Python scripting (PyTecplot)
Pricing:
- Paid
- Powerful for visualizing and analyzing complex engineering and CFD simulation data, creates high-quality plots and animations, Excel add-in/import simplifies loading spreadsheet data.
- Commercial software (Tecplot 360), primarily a visualization and post-processing tool, Excel integration is for data input into Tecplot, not for performing Tecplot analysis within Excel.
Best for:
- Engineers and scientists working with CFD and other simulation data who use Tecplot 360 for visualization and need to import data from Excel spreadsheets.
