Tecplot, Inc. and CD-adapco Form Partnership

By DE Editors

Tecplot, Inc.(Bellevue, WA) andCD-adapco(New York and London) have formed a partnership to create a new interface between Tecplot 360 2008 and CD-adapco’s STAR-CCM+ computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, adding support for polyhedral cell technology.

Customers of both companies will benefit by being able to combine the comprehensive CFD solutions of CD-adapco’s STAR-CCM+ with the visualization capabilities of Tecplot 360 2008 (recently released with Tecplot Focus 2008).

As a result of the partnership, Tecplot’s users will be able to read STAR-CCM+‘s native file format, and CD-adapco’s users will have access to Tecplot 360’s publishable quality images and animations.

CD-adapcowill in turn be supporting export of the Tecplot format in its next release of STAR-CCM+.
