Tecplot 360 and Focus 2023 R1 Releases are Now Available
We're excited to announce that the Tecplot 360 and Focus 2023 R1 releases are now available! Tecplot 360 2023 R1 has all the features of Tecplot 360 2022 R2, plus support for high order elements.
Using Tecplot 360 for high order elements provides a number of benefits including smaller output files and accurate results at a faster rate than other post-processing tools. Here are some highlights of high order elements support:
- Ability to read P2, P3, and P4 elements from CGNS, SZPLT, and VTU files.
- TecIO includes new APIs to write SZPLT files containing high order elements utilizing the new FEMixed Zone Type. CGNS node ordering is expected.
- High order elements are both selectively and recursively sub-divided, using the basis functions, to provide highly accurate results.
- Number of sub-divisions can be defined on a per-frame basis using new options in the Plot Sidebar. Higher levels of sub-division provide more accurate results, but also require more RAM and processing time.
