For Windows users, there is a tutorial which describes how to configure an xserver client such as xming to allow for the remote display of the Tecplot gui. This describes how to set up X11 tunneling which is required to allow the remote gui to be processed by the xserver client. This blog starts with an introduction by Tiffany Cook, Partner and Public Relations Manager at Convergent Science. Then Scott Fowler, Tecplot 360 Product Manager, will talk briefly about Tecplot products and services. The rest is a tutorial for using Tecplot for CONVERGE. Jan 22, 2020 This blog on Tecplot Macro Tutorials was written from a webinar entitled Ask the Expert About Tecplot 360 hosted by Scott Fowler, Tecplot 360 Product Manager. We received numerous questions about Tecplot macros and this blog pulls our macro resources together in one place. What is a Tecplot macro? Delivers powerful visualization and analysis software for CFD Simulation Analytics, CFD Visualization and Analysis, Post-processing, Reservoir. About Tecplot Tecplot is now available to all HSSOE faculty, staff, and students for both instructional and research use. The School consolidated departmental and individual-seat licenses for Tecplot into a single schoolwide site-license. The School has a 3-year commitment to sustain the license.
