Here are 10 tips for creating publication quality plots that make an impact. The Tecplot 360 User’s Manual has chapters on all of the topics discussed below and can be found in our documentation. Explore the Plot Gallery with hundreds of plot examples. Learn the best way to share your results with key players. Choosing the right output formats, color and layout help you present your results more effectively in […]
As the years go by, more and more engineers and scientists are working with files containing hundreds of millions of cells, with billions on the horizon. Tecplot 360 introduced a new data file format called SZL or subzone loadable (filename extension .szplt) to address the needs of customers who are visualizing large data files, improving interactive performance, and simultaneously reducing memory requirements. When faced with the task of making large […]
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 […]
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. […]
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. […]
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. […]
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). […]
Engineers face highly dimensional problems which require a flexible architecture that integrated solutions often lack. Read this blog for 5 reasons best-in-class tools have the advantage. […]
Recently, I heard that Stanford University released an open-source CFD solver called SU2. I was very excited to give SU2 a go. […]
Wen Long, a research scientist in the DOE Pacific Northwest National Lab has created some beautiful plots for his work studying ocean currents in Puget Sound waterways off the coast of Washington State. […]
