Quick Macro Panel Streamlines Repetitive Operations
Using the software for data analysis often requires algorithms with many repeated operations, and in some cases many different operations. Tecplot engineers have created a macro language to streamline these operations. Macros are recordable, easy to edit, and don’t require any development experience. Quick Macro Panel Some commonly used complex and repetitive algorithms (within the aerospace community) have been incorporated into a dynamic Tecplot 360 interface called the Quick Macro […]
Creating Tecplot Format Files From MATLAB® Data
Sometimes the biggest challenge of any CFD project is getting your data into the correct file format. This script shows how to create Tecplot format files from MATLAB® data imported from simple text files. […]
Tecplot RS 2013 Release 2 is Available
BELLEVUE, Washington—December 31, 2013—Happy New Year! Tecplot®, Inc. has just released an update of Tecplot® RS™, the company’s reservoir simulation visualization and analysis tool for oil and gas reservoir modeling. The Release 2 (R2) version has significant improvements for loading, viewing, and exporting files and plots, including automating some functions while reducing the ‘number of clicks.’ New features and enhancements make it easier to load, view, and export files and […]
Evolving Tecplot Visualization Software Keeps Pace with Hardware
Many clever ideas are presented each year at tech conferences and the like, and my job as Tecplot CTO is to make sure Tecplot is aware of the newest techniques and trends in visualization research. […]
The Egg Came First!
Subzone load-on-demand (SZL) minimizes the amount of data loaded by Tecplot 360. The basic idea is to divide a large dataset into small pieces, or subzones, and load only those subzones needed for the desired plot. […]
Using MRI in Engineering Flows
At Stanford, the group led by John Eaton has pioneered the use of MRI to measure 3D velocity (MRV) and 3D concentration (MRC) in engineering flows. […]
Best Picture Award in Physical Science
Long time Tecplot customer, Frank Muldoon, and his colleague, Hendrick Kuhlman, at the Vienna University of Technology, received the “Best Picture in Physical Science award” for this image of Invariant Streamtubes of a Hydrothermal Wave in a Thermocapillary Liquid Bridge. […]
Tecplot File Types and an Example Macro
Understanding Tecplot file types helps you work more efficiently and get the most out of Tecplot 360. In this Tecplot Tip we define each Tecplot file type and show you an example Tecplot Macro. […]
From Atoms to Airplanes
In the world of chemistry and material science, “first principles” means quantum mechanics. Software has been available for some time to compute the electron wave functions from the material composition (the type and location of the atoms in the material). […]
