2. TECPLOT – WHAT’S A BIG DEAL?

3. XY

4. 2D

5. 3D - Contaminants

6. ANIMATION – Car aerodynamics http://www.tecplot.com/showcase/gallery/animation/50.asp

7. STREAMLINES – Vortex of a Delta Wing

8. ORGANIZATION OF TECPLOT

9. EXAMPLE CREATE A PLOT FROM A- Y

10. DATA ORGANIZATION

11. DATA FORMAT FOR ZONES Order (Structured data) Finite-element (Unstructured data) Type of plots I-ordered data XY plots IJ-ordered data FE-surface data2D field plot IJK-ordered data FE-volume data3D field plot

12. XY plots – A, B, C Few steps to go

13. 1. Load data file

15. 2. Edit axis

17. 3. Change symbol and line patterns

19. 4. Add legends

21. 5. Edit frame

23. 6. Export image file

25. …to compare or not to compare … plotted by Tecplot … excelled by Excel

26. Finally Save Tecplot file for future use/modifications Insert figures in your paper and PUBLISH

27. 2D CONTOUR EXAMPLE
