Tecplot Edge

Maximize Profit and Increase
Customer Satisfaction!
Your challenge is to build quality products on time
and within budget. Tecplot Edge enables you to
meet these goals by adding sophisticated data
visualization capabilities to your applications in
a fraction of the time and cost it would take to
build from scratch.
What Is Tecplot Edge?
Tecplot Edge
®
for Developers
Tecplot Edge adds data visualization and plotting technology to solvers, simulation codes
and analysis software. Combine Tecplot Edge with your application as a loosely linked
plotting tool, a tightly integrated visualization engine, or anywhere in between. Tecplot
Edge provides proven, customizable visualization capabilities — with ongoing support
througout your product’s lifecycle.
Tecplot Edge is different from visuaization tool-kits and graphics libraries because you
immediately get access to finished, state-of-the-art visualization software. Quickly
integrate a complete or partial set of Edge’s capabilities into your application instead of
coding and debugging basic plotting functionality. Tecplot Edge includes:
“Edge provides our customers
with all the plots they want and
need — quickly, efficiently and
economically.”
— Lars Bomholt, Director of Development

Tecplot Edge Success Stories
Pursuing State-of-the-Art Visualization
Integrated Systems Engineering (ISE) is a leading provider of Technology
Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) modeling and simulation software. Semiconductor
manufacturers around the world use TCAD to support the design and manufacturing
of integrated circuits.
Visualization is key to understanding the
physics in TCAD results. Users need to see the
simulation results in two- and three-dimensions
and create high-quality graphs and images for
presentation.
“The combination of Tecplot’s
finished GUI and possibilities
for customization is unique...our
collaboration and support with
Tecplot is excellent.”
— Peter Regli, TCAD Product Manager
ISE Integrated Systems Engineering
“Integrating Tecplot Edge into our code was the
best solution for us and our customers. It would
have taken enormous effort and time to create, maintain and support something
similar to Tecplot,” explains Product Manager Peter Regli. “Tecplot is a huge step
forward. Our customers finally have instant access to powerful visualization!”
“Development of a tool based on a graphics library would have taken at least two
person years, and the ongoing maintenance would require at least two full time
developers,” Peter adds. “With Tecplot Edge, we needed just four person-months to
develop a new visualization component for TCAD.”

Coventor’s Development Edge
Coventor, Inc. is a leading provider of desing tools for Micro-Electro-Mechanical
Systems (MEMS) design tools. Their software suite is used by the major suppliers
of MEMS-enabled products to develop and simulate the complex physics of MEMS
devices.
Ken Greiner, the senior engineer at Coventor who led the visualization development
effort, explains, “We were looking for easy integration and broad visualization
functionality. Tecplot Edge is robust and offers maximum capability and flexibility.”
“Generality, customizability, and availability
are Tecplot Edge’s three greatest strengths for
us,” Ken says. “Edge has a wide range of data
visualization and analysis functionality, which
reduces the amount of work that we had to
do. In addition, Tecplot Edge’s API allows us to
customize the software easily. And, it is available
for the computing platforms we use, including
Windows PCs and Sun workstations.”
Tecplot Edge already has
most of the functionality we
need, so it requires much
less development work...this
allows us to devote greater
development resources to areas
of the software where we add
unique value as MEMS experts.”
— Ken Greiner, Senior Engineer
Coventor, Inc.
CoventorWare users also give positive reviews to
Tecplot Edge. “Our customers get the benefit of
using a mature, well-known product instead of an in-house tool,” Greiner explains.
“Many comment on the increased functionality available with Tecplot Edge.”
