PENTRAN is a radiation transport simulation code similar to the MCNPX code from LANL. The team from the University of Florida will discuss the application of their code to dosimetry (study of the amount of radiation absorbed by a patient during therapy), and how integrating Tecplot 360 helps to accurately and quickly predict radiation exposure to patients.

The talk will also include details of comparisons with other simulation methods.

This presentation will show the use of advanced software tools to study the physics of airflow and how it impacts the performance of aircraft engines.

To understand the flow physics of cooling holes, researchers used CFD++ to perform a CFD analysis on a CAD model of a simplified engine blade that was tested experimentally in the UC Combustion Research Laboratory.

See how good visualization techniques can be used to identify and analyze unexpected simulation results.

With the recent inclusion of Python bindings in Tecplot 360 many of our users will be able to quickly extend Tecplot’s core functionality. In this presentation we will describe the process of developing python scripts in Tecplot software. Topics will include reading, altering, and writing data from Python, developing simple GUIs, and strategies for script development.

Maintaining legacy code is a daunting task for most organizations. One area where users often request ongoing improvements is graphics. In this presentation we will explore options for improving existing applications by leveraging Tecplot’s proven graphics libraries. The presentation will include a discussion of the technical architecture of Tecplot SDK and how it compares to other low level graphic libraries like VTK, and OpenGL.
