Post-processing with Tecplot

Valid versions:

Starting with OF-1.6, OpenFOAM includes the utility foamToTecplot360 to facilitate post-processing using Tecplot 360 (2009 and newer). For more details on how to use the utility, check the wiki page foamToTecplot360, section Using the foamToTecplot360 utility.

As of Tecplot 360 2011 R2, it is possible to load OpenFOAM data directly from inside Tecplot, as explained on this thread: Tecplot 360 2011 R2 preview with OpenFOAM data loader available for evaluation. For detailed steps, see the wiki page foamToTecplot360, section Using Tecplot to open the case directly.

-To convert OpenFOAM data to tecplot, run the foamToTecplot360 utility. This will create a subdirectory "Tecplot360", in which a .plt file will be created for every time step, plus an additional caseName_grid_0.plt file that contains the mesh information. Start Tecplot, and then execute "File->Load Data File(s)". Select "Tecplot data loader" as the data format and continue to the file selection dialogue. Click the command button "Multiple Files". Now, make sure the first file you add to the list of files to load is the previously mentioned mesh file (caseName_grid_0.plt), then add the rest of the files you wish to view (as usual selection of multiple files can be done using Shift/Ctrl + Click) and hit "OK".
