Tecplot Chorus Released

Calling it the creation of a new product category for engineering analysis, Tecplot announced the production release of Tecplot Chorus. By combining visualization with simulation data management, postprocessing, and metadata analysis, Chorus is claimed to be the first simulation analytics tool.

The goal of simulation analytics is the simultaneous data-mining and display of large numbers of CFD simulations to identify trends and provide insight, hopefully allowing engineers to make better decisions faster.
