Tecplot

The following command can be used to plotting 3D (not 2D) structures in Tecplot. Note that any value defined as a solution variable or a sel z= parameter will be available for plotting.

After generating the 3D FLOODS structure, insert the following line:

struct tech= plotname.plt

To open tecplot using the terminal window, type:

tecplot_sv -s:no_addons

and load the previously generated data file plotname.plt

Notes

This option is only available to UF FLOODS users or users with access to tecplot. Tecplot itself is not a part of the FLOODS code!

If you used

init quad

to create the structure, tecplot will still plot the elements as tetrahedra.
