Hello!  I am trying to use Tecplot to analyze some wind tunnel data.  I
want to make a legend in a 2-D plot that contains the following:

M, Re #,  Q_inf, psf

The question I have is can I put an infinity sign in place of inf in the
above list?  If so how?

Thanks!

Actually, I need to correct myself here. The computations are not quite
right. They should be:

{Hour} = (v1-trunc(v1))/24.*100.
{Day} = ( (v1-trunc(v1))/100. - trunc((v1-trunc(v1))/100.) )*100.

and the Date would be:

{DATE} = ( (v1-trunc(v1))/100. - trunc((v1-trunc(v1))/100.) )*100.
                + (v1-trunc(v1))/24.*100.

Good luck.

Ryan,
you could perhaps try using value blanking. first, on your 3-D data,
blank
off the unwanted part of the sector (e.g., the other 120-degree
chunk) so
what remains is the 60-degree sector of interest. then create a 2-D
slice
out of that sector. then perform the averaging operation on this slice
(the 'statistics' function, an add-on for Tecplot 8.0, is pretty
handy in
doing this).

if your data's in cylindrical coordinate and already contains a theta
variable then it's easy to blank.
otherwise you could always create such variable out of your cartesian
x and y, by using asin or acos.

hope this helps..

Hello everybody,

I had a 3D data set and have extracted a 2D slice from this. The 2D
slice is semi-circular (problem is symmetric). I would like to
calculate
a parameter for this slice. To calculate this parameter I need the
average value of a variable over the slice (I can get this from CFD
Analyzer - Integration - and integrate over the plane). However the
other value I need to calculate the parameter I want is the average
value of a variable in a sector (e.g. 60 degree sector where the
variable is 'worst'). I am puzzled as to how I can extract a e.g. 60
degree slice from my 180 degree 2d slice I have created. I realise
there
are 3D rotation options in the view menu but don't see how it can be
applied to my problem. Has anyone done something similar before and
can
help me out?

Thanks,

Ryan

It looks like the difference is that Tecplot 8 gives you an
information
dialog about this the first time you bring up the Color Map dialog if
your visual is true color; Tecplot 9 does not (bug?).

Brian,

True color visuals do not support changeable color maps. In version 8
we used
the default visual so if you did not have a true color visual
selected for your
machine (you probably have a psuedo color visual) then you could
change the
color map in realtime without redraws. In version 9 we explicitly
request a true
color visual for OpenGL rendering. Since true color visuals do not
support
changeable colormaps Tecplot does not support it. This would also be
true in
version 8 if your default visual were true color.

Has anyone out there noticed that under TecPlot 9.0 (both UNIX and NT)
you can not use the ability to do changeable color maps, i.e. mods to
the color map are not seen real-time, they are only visible after a
redraw.  If I use TecPlot 8 on the same machine(s) (no other software
running), changeable color maps are useable.  What up?

I'm sure there are plenty of approaches, but one that comes to mind is
to slice the domain, and compute the centroid of the slice. The
question
is what your duct really looks like. If the beginning face is planar,
and orthogonal to the Cartesian axis, the slicing should not be too
bad
for the remainder of the duct. Probably the most robust method would
be
to march from the planar inlet or exit a specific distance, and slice
the duct parallel to the starting plane. Compute the area of the slice
and the centroid of the slice. Then alter one of the rotation angles
but
rotating about the centroid, slice the domain, and see if the area of
the slice changes and the centroid is still the same. If the area
decreases, you are approaching the correct orientation of the slice;
otherwise if the area increases, the slice angle is moving away from
orthogonal to the centerline of the duct. Basically, you want a slice
with the least area such that the slice passes through the centroid.
When the area is minimized, and the centroid doesn't stray from the
input centroid, the plane is then locally planar to the centerline of
the duct. Compute the pressure, and march a bit more orthogonally to
the
current slice. Repeat the process until you have reached the end or
beginning of the duct.

Computing the centroid is fairly simple. Just sum all X, Y, and Z
values, and take the average. For the area, assuming a "square duct",
simply find the X, Y and Z limits to find the opposing corners.
Compute
the distance between the corners, square it, and divide by 2 to
determine the area. This is fairly simple with Tecplot, because the
limits are already known as |MINX|, |MINY|, |MINZ|, and |MAXX|,
|MAXY|,
|MAXZ|.

Put the process into a macro and you should be able to find the
centerline pressure, which you seek.

Good luck.

Hi,

Is there a way to read compressed (gzip or compress) asci data files
in tecplot.
I want to make a movie of a flow animation from a CFD code.
I write the flow field to an asci data file each n iterations and to
save space I want to compress those files
and read them back in tecplot (kepp them compressed) to make the
movie.

Any ideas?
Thank's for your help.

Dear All:

We are using Tecplot Verson 7.5. We have a set of 3-D unstrcutured
data. For example, we are computing the flow field along a curved
square duct. We are interested in extracing the pressure data along
the centerline of the duct. The centerline of the duct does not
coincide with Cartesian axis due to the curved saqure duct. Could
anyone suggest how to do this? Thanks.

Hi Tecplotters!

I have some 2D finite element data with varying element sizes
______________________
|__|____|____|__|__|__|
|__|____|____|__|__|__|

and I would like to extract the data for a constant y.  After that, I
would like
to have data points only at the location of the nodes of the original
FE-mesh.
Extracting data points with a polyline seems only to allow for a
constant
distribution of the data points and to extract discrete data points by
clicking
on them would be too time consuming. I tried slicing, but this only
seems
to work for 3D-Data.
Does anyone know a way out?

Thanks in advance
Maren

Hi, I am a newbie to this group.  I have limited experience in
Tecplot.

I am trying to import some second-order finite elements to Tecplot
for postprocessing.  From what I read in the manual, it does not
appear to me that Tecplot supports 8-node quads or 6-node triangles.
I understand that I can convert my 8-node quads to 4-node quads,
which is supported by Tecplot, by losing some information.  However,
that does not sound right to me.  I would appreciate your
enlightment.  Thank you,

Jin

Hello folks, I learned something big yesterday that I want to share
with
you.  I have always taken for granted that the legend accurately
depicts
my data values.  Yesterday I realized that some of my positive values
had the color of a negative value.  This is due to the colormap and
moving the control points, in the colormap dialogue there is no way to
accurately define a value to a control point.  A control point can
slide
a little and not actually change the contour level that it applies to.
This is where the colormap overrides come in.

Thank you to Ardith for helping me find this.  If you go to
the "Field"
menu and select "Colormap Adjustments" you can override the colormap
in
the areas that are most important to you, for me, this was the two
boxes
above and below zero.  So, first you select the "Colormap Adjustments"
dialogue then click on "Use Colormap Overrides".  This will give you a
"Band" and you can have up to 16 bands.  Click on the "Active" box and
choose a color.  If the color you want is not there you can make a
custom color under File-->Preferences-->Colors.  Then you choose the
Minimum and Maximum contour levels that this band will apply to.  This
will ensure that you are absolutely, positively limiting that contour
level to that color.

I hope that made sense and happy plotting...

Questions about Tecplot basically fall into 2 categories.

1) "I'm trying to do something unusual in Tecplot.  Does anyone have
experience with this?"  This kind of question is an excellent topic
for
Tecplot Talk.

2) "I'm doing something that should be standard in Tecplot, but it
isn't
working right."  This kind of question is appropriate to send to Amtec
Tech Support.  Although many of the Tecplot Talk members are very
experienced and could answer almost any question, answering questions
about what is going wrong is our specialty and we enjoy helping you.

And now a few tips on reporting problems:
When you have a question that relates to a particular file or files,
it

Hi!



This is khyati..I am trying to load my two datafiles in the same 3-D
data
files,but it didn't work properly..I import both of my file from
excel
loader and then saved it in tecplot format..After than i used load
data
files with multiple file option,but it doesn't shows me anything in
the
graph..

Thanks.

You can control the limits of the contour legend in the levels
specification. If your lowest limit is zero, then the lower limit
specified in the contour legend is zero. On the other hand, if you
want a
zero in the middle of the legend, you can do one of two things:

     1) Add a level specifically at zero by typing in
         a zero to the Add Level entry field in the
         levels spcification dialog.

     2) Arrange your limits and number of levels
          such that zero is at one of the levels.

Have fun.

Never argue with an idiot, for they will bring you down to
their level and beat you with experience every time.

Is there any way to make sure that a value of zero is honored in a
contour legend?  It is strange how the colormap can be moved but there
are no set values to each color.  I know that I can set the precision
but this will still allow a value that is slightly negative to appear
that it is positive.

Hello Tecplotters,
I have a dataset with several zones of (I,J) ordered data; I=1 to 6,
J=1 to
100.
I want to flip one zone end-to-end and add it to another zone.
I tried doing this with the equation...
v1 = v1[1] + v1[2](i,101-j)
applied only to the result zone. But Tecplot appears not to like a
negative
sign
before the j. Can anyone suggest a way round this ?

Andrew,
    This is definitely a problem. I was able to get around it using
the macro included in the attachment. This macro assumes the zone is
an ordered data set (i.e., structured). No other assumptions are
made. Also note that the attachment can be easily added to the quick
macro panel, and works quite well.

    Good Luck.

Thierry,

    When you slice a 3D zone, you get an unstructured grid. The
problem is
that doing a difference between two different slices, is that the
points
(e.g., number 53) will not be identical in location in the slice. To
difference the slices, you'll probably have to interpolate one slice
onto
another. Conceivably you don't want to destroy the other slice. So,
make a
copy of the first slice, then use krigging to interpolate the values
from the
second slice to the duplicated first slice. Difference the original
first
slice and its duplicate after krigging, and you should get the
results you
seek.

Dear tecploters,

I would like to get some informations from other people succeding to
get some Vrml2 output from Tecplot. Most especially for buiding vrml
scene graphs of animated 3D iso-surfaces, or flow field velocities or
particles.

I would appreciate if you could help me finding some utilities,
converters, etc.

Did Amtec have plans to integrate this 'important' feature in their
wonderful package ?? This is very important for us as we are
expecting more visualization projects, and we would like to keep
working with Tecplot as a primary production tool for our 3D FEM post-
processing activities.

Thanks ...

Hi!

This is khyati..I am trying to load my two datafiles in the same 3-D
data
files,but it didn't work properly..I import both of my file from excel
loader and then saved it in tecplot format..After than i used load
data
files with multiple file option,but it doesn't shows me anything in
the
graph..
Thanks.
