When it comes time to present your work to others, it’s important to remember that the purpose of the presentation is clear communication, and the goal is (usually) to make or defend a decision. […]
Whether you have an XY-line or contour plots, styling and formatting is critical in communicating your the results of your analyses. […]
Today we’re going to discuss how to tailor your plots and presentations based on your audience. The key to keeping your audience engaged is delving just deep enough to give context and confidence in your conclusions and recommendations. […]
Consistency in your plots is important because it helps you identify significant differences when comparing datasets or regions of the same dataset. […]
Tecplot 360 is designed to read and display numeric data, but sometimes you may have categorical data that is best represented using names. An example of this type of data is a groundwater simulation in which scalar values refer to materials such as rock, sand, and water. Another example is … […]
Engineers often need to create a new variable which is based on a numeric relationship of existing variables already loaded. using Tecplot 360 has a powerful capability for calculating a new variable uses a simple method. […]
Tips and Tricks for using Tecplot for CONVERGE include a walk-through of the User Interface, loading data, keyboard shortcuts, zones, slices and iso-surfaces, plot annotations, parcels, scripting, computing mass flow rate and more
[…]
If you wish to generate native Tecplot 360 data files automatically from applications such as complex flow solvers, you have a number of options for outputting data into a format compatible with Tecplot. This blog outlines a few “best practices” for doing so. […]
“Sharing is good, and with digital technology, sharing is easy.” –Richard Stallman. Tecplot divides datasets into zones. These zones may represent different areas of the physical domain, the same physical domain at different time steps, or different results that you may wish to compare. The zones may also have different dimensionality; for example there may be a mixture of 3D volume zones that contain field variables and 2D surface zones […]
Today’s low-cost computational resources have fundamentally changed the way we approach modern technical challenges. In the world of CFD, one of the most dramatic changes has been the increasing use of unsteady (transient) simulations, which allows engineers and scientists to study moving machinery and turbulence flows more effectively. This article is designed to show you how to work more easily with unsteady results using the improved quantitative capabilities in the […]
