Press Release Body: Tecplot, Inc., the developer of Tecplot data visualization and
technical plotting solutions, announces it has partnered with CD-adapco to create a
new interface between Tecplot 360 2008 and CD-adapco's STAR-CCM+ computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) software, adding support for polyhedral cell technology.

Customers of both companies will benefit by being able to combine the comprehensive
CFD solutions of STAR-CCM+ with the cutting-edge visualization capabilities of
Tecplot 360 2008. As a result of the partnership, Tecplot's users will be able to
read STAR-CCM+'s native file format, and CD-adapco's users will have access to
Tecplot 360's publishable quality images and animations.

A joint announcement of the partnership was made to Aerospace customers at the 46th
AIAA Aersopace Sciences Meeting on January 7 in Reno, Nevada during Tecplot's
presentation of the latest release of Tecplot 360.

"Being the first to natively support the STAR-CCM+ format shows our dedication to
both CD-adapco's customers, as well as our own" says Tecplot President, Mike Peery.
"Our relationship with CD-adapco is a natural partnership, due to their dedication
to technical excellence combined with their focus on customer solutions. Polyhedral
performance is becoming increasingly important, and the combined power of our
respective applications will yield major productivity gains for users."

David Vaughn, Director of Aerospace and Defense for CD-adapco, says, "Tecplot
continues to be an invaluable partner for CD-adapco. Their user focus meshes
perfectly with our mission to develop long-term relationships in order to provide
maximum benefit for the customer."

CD-adapco will in turn be supporting export of the Tecplot format in the next
release of STAR-CCM+.
