Sweep a slice through the volume to explore your data. Slice in several places at once to discover what is going on inside your data. Like the Slice and Iso-surface Tools, streamtraces in Tecplot 9.0 are rendered immediately after you have placed a streamtrace seed. With Tecplot 9.0 you can make slices, iso-surfaces, and other surfaces translucent to convey more information in your plots. Rotate, zoom, and translate are integrated into the mouse buttons so you don't have to spend time switching tools.
Users can create customized curve fits using their special proprietary algorithms.
Also included in Tecplot 9.0 is an interactive general curve fitting option. Driven by the growth in computing speed and memory size, the data sets used in engineering analyses are growing larger as well. You usually want to perform the best analysis you can within the time and resources allow. In the aerospace industry computations are now being done on a routine basis with 1 to 5 million grid points. Computations with up to 20 million grid points are not uncommon for special cases.
