What’s New in Tecplot RS 2014 Release 1Support for UTCHEM Simulator Tecplot RS 2014 R1 reads native UTCHEM (chemical flood reservoir simulator developed at the University of Texas at Austin ) files for the reservoir grid properties and production data, and makes available full capabilities for creating XY plots, and 2D and 3D grid plots.Quick RFT Plot The Quick RFT plot is used when exploring 3D grid solutions. Users can click on any grid cell, and the Quick RFT will create a plot of the current grid variable versus depth for the column cells that includes the selected cell. This provides a very fast method for exploring the grid and for understanding how the grid properties vary with depthPeriodic Production...

Supporting an eigenmode solver as well as various methods for simulating guided propagation of optical fields over long distances, MODE Solutions is an ideal tool for the design, analysis and optimization of guided components. The eigenmode solver accurately calculates the physical properties of guided modes in truly arbitrary waveguide geometries. The 2.5D varFDTD solver in MODE Solutions enables rapid and accurate simulation of planar waveguide geometries such as SOI tapers and ring resonators, whereas the eigenmode expansion (EME) solver is ideal for simulating long distance light propagation in waveguide devices such as spot-size converters, tapers and Bragg gratings. When combined with DEVICE, Lumerical’s optoelectronic solver, MODE Solutions provides a powerful tool for the design and analysis of active components such...
