Tecplot Focus is an engineering plotting software with extensive XY, 2D and 3D capabilities. It is designed for measured field data, performance plotting of test data, mathematical analysis, and engineering plotting in general. Unlike our Windows-only competitors, Tecplot Focus is a multi-platform engineering tool that gives you total control to get all the types of plots you want for effective analysis, presentation, and publication. Some key features are:

Unique, multi-frame layout
Macros and automation
XY, 2D, and 3D plotting (vector, scatter, contour, polar)
High quality vector and raster output

One of the key differentiators between Tecplot Focus and Tecplot 360 is that Tecplot Focus does not support CFD data formats, CFD analysis, and transient data.

New! Expanded Analysis with the Power of Python

Python is a powerful open-source, object-oriented extensible programming language. Python scripting was added to Tecplot Focus specifically for engineers who require additional analysis (FFTs, splines, statistical functions, etc.) or more scripting flexibility than macro writing/recording. Additionally, you can run your scripts on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh platforms.

Python offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools and comes with extensive standard libraries. Tecplot Focus 2008 users can now leverage the extensive set of open-source libraries that are now available. The SciPy and NumPy scientific computing libraries are included, along with the Tk library for simple GUI development.

New User Interface

With version 2008, Tecplot Focus's user interface has been improved to include:

Streamlined layout with improved access to important features.
Double-clicking buttons acts as a shortcut to the function’s details menu.
Bounce and loop features were added to the animation options.
Improved animation options for slices and iso-surfaces.

“It would be almost impossible to troubleshoot our simulation tools without Tecplot.”

Touraj Sahely, Hyper

While Tecplot's vast output options make it an excellent tool for creating presentation-quality plots and animations, the feature that makes it most useful for interpretation of simulation output is that it can generate line plots, vector plots, and 2- or 3-D plots from the same data set...and plot them in a variety of frames on a single page.
