How can I plot in cylinder pressure from otape9 using tecplot or other softwares?

Firstly u dont have to use otape9 file.

You can also use excel or matlab to plot. Excel -data import -text file import

Crank angle and pressure data already written in thermo.dat file. You can open and see data that file by notepad i suggest notepad++.

Sorry my English is not well but i am sure you understand what i mean.
Best regards.

itape17
 

thanks for your helping. it was so useful. sorry i have another question about itape17. i made itape17 by icem but when i run kiva3v it shows some error mesages:for example: WARNING: cell 27802 in region 1 is not convex and fatal error: cell 26293 has inverted in cycle= 166

i am sorry i couldn't help this time.
Because i haven't any mesh/itape17 file with icem yet. i tried that earlier but it was too long and complicated proccess to me then i was bored so i give up. later if i have much time i ll try again.

i hope u find answer in this forum. Maybe there is a topic about this subject.
