Academics and researchers can use LaTeX fonts to add complex notation to their publications. COMSOL, PyFR, SimVascular and Envenio users will be able to load VTU and VTM file formats. “Engineers who are building automated workflows for complex task analysis can control Tecplot 360 from their Python scripts. “Four distinct types of users will be interested in this release,” said Scott Fowler, Tecplot 360 product manager. To illustrate the added functionality, Tecplot has made four short video tutorials. Also wrapped into this release are over thirty bug fixes and performance improvements.Numerous improvements have been made to simplify working with slices and iso-surfaces, which are part and parcel to understanding volumetric data.The introduction of VTU (unstructured grid) and VTM (multi-block) file loaders emphasize Tecplot’s commitment to supporting open file format standards.LaTeX fonts, a commonly used notation for inclusion of symbols and formulae, have been made available in the Text Details dialog.PyTecplot, Tecplot’s Python API, can be used to record Python scripts and play them back live in the Tecplot 360 interface.
