Overview

The TecIO Library is a powerful tool designed to facilitate the reading and writing of Tecplot file formats. It supports both the legacy PLT format and the newer SZL format, which is optimized for large datasets and improves performance while reducing memory usage. The library is compatible with various programming languages, including C, C++, and Fortran, and supports 64-bit indexing, allowing individual zones to exceed two billion nodes. TecIO is available for all platforms supported by Tecplot 360 and includes dynamic libraries, header files, and example programs.

Features

  • Support for Multiple File Formats: TecIO can read and write both PLT and SZL file formats, with SZL optimized for large datasets.
  • 64-bit Indexing: Allows individual zones to exceed two billion nodes, providing flexibility for large-scale simulations.
  • Parallel Writing: TecIO-MPI supports parallel writing of data, making it suitable for large-scale CFD codes.
  • Compatibility: Works with C, C++, and Fortran, and supports various platforms including Windows, Linux, and Mac.
  • Optimized Performance: Recent optimizations have reduced output time by 95% for cases with thousands of zones.
  • Comprehensive Documentation: Includes detailed documentation and examples to help users get started quickly.

Benefits

  • Efficiency: Reduces data file sizes and increases speed and efficiency, especially for large datasets.
  • Flexibility: Supports a wide range of programming languages and platforms, making it adaptable to different environments.
  • Scalability: Optimized for large-scale simulations, allowing for efficient data handling and processing.
  • Ease of Use: Comprehensive documentation and examples make it easy to integrate TecIO into existing workflows.
  • Cost-Effective: Reduces the need for additional data processing tools, saving time and resources.
