====== Tecplot ======

[[https://www.tecplot.com/products/tecplot-360/|Tecplot 360]] is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and numerical simulation software package used in post-processing simulation results. Tecplot 360 is also used in chemistry applications to visualize molecule structure by post-processing charge density data.

Tecplot 360 is commercial software that may only be used by research workgroups that have purchased a license and are running a private license server. You must know the license server name and port number to use Tecplot.

To determine the available versions of Tecplot installed use

<code>
$ vpkg_versions tecplot
</code>

===== License Information =====

If your workgroup has purchased a Tecplot license, then the ''tecplot.lic'' file containing the license server name and port number should be located in a shared workgroup directory such as ''$WORKDIR/sw/tecplot/licenses''. In the example ''tecplot.lic'' below, ''lm.udel.edu'' and ''port'' would be replaced with your private license server name and port number.

<code tecplot.lic>
HOST lm.udel.edu 0 port
</code>

Next install a ''tecplot'' startup script in a shared workgroup directory such as ''$WORKDIR/sw/bin'' which will load the current default version of tecplot denoted by the ''*'' above and configure the environment variable ''RLM_LICENSE'' to find the correct license server information for your workgroup.

<code tecplot>
#!/bin/bash
source /etc/profile.d/valet.sh
vpkg_require tecplot
export RLM_LICENSE="$WORKDIR/sw/tecplot/licenses"
tec360 "$@"
</code>
