The Tecplot TecIO library ("TECIO") and preplot executables may be distributed for the purpose of generating data files compatible with Tecplot's software. We provide runtime libraries for a variety of platforms. Or, if you are inclined, you may compile the source yourself and link the library into your own solver.

If you have an interest in outputting a solver code to a Tecplot format, please do not hesitate to contact Scott Rumage (Tecplot's Partner and Code Interface Manager) for consultation. Contacting us may significantly reduce your time in creating the output, plus it will aid in the creation of a product that will take advantage of Tecplot's capabilities. Informing us of your work also allows us to apprise you of updates and bug fixes to the library.
