Tecplot 360 Fluid Structure Interaction Tutorial
This tutorial shows how to use Tecplot 360 to visualize a Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) problem. An animation that shows the movement of a nonlinear baffle as it is affected by fluid pressure is produced. These Tecplot 360 features are used to create the plot:
* Loading Abaqus and Fluent data
* Working with contour groups
* Using streamtraces
* Animating and exporting your plot
Tecplot Focus Gas Burner Tutorial
This tutorial, from the 2008 version, walks you through the basic steps of working with multiple frames, adjusting the contour level values and using stylesheets. Note that the interface has changed in the newer releases, but the same steps are the same. The video is divided into the following major steps:
* Loading a Tecplot *.plt file
* Triangulating the data
* Customizing the contour layer
* Copying the plot to a clipboard or file
