Having Problems with foamToTecplot360
Hy guys,
So I've been trying to generate the mesh and the solution from OF to tecplot and this is what I obtain: http://s22.postimg.org/nvokil76l/tecplot_error.jpg (Note: the gray area are my boundaries and the "edges" is my solution) The weird thing is that this only happens when I run yPlusRAS to the specific solution time. Anyone has any idea?? SLC |
Greetings Santiago,
I don't have Tecplot, so I cannot test it. But from your description, all I can suggest is to:
Best regards, Bruno |
I have done that
First off, Thanks for the reply Bruno...
Now getting down to business, as I stated in the title of this thread I have already done that and it seems to me that the problem is coming from the yPlus fields that messes up things. I have already post-processed much of my simulation results but I haven't been able to fix this problem (I have found a way around it, not very efficient though). Anyways, I'd be nice to know whether there's a bug in the foamToTecplot360 utility. SLC |
Hi Santiago,
Well, my theory is that the Tecplot format used by foamToTecplot360 has problems with either one of the following situations:
By the way, isn't the latest Tecplot 360 able to open OpenFOAM cases directly? Or does it still have some issues? Best regards, Bruno |
Maybe I'll just install the newest Tecplot360 then (I'm not a particular fan of upgrading software in the middle of a project but well...)
|
same issue here :/
anyone a workaround? |
@mhaghdoost Try to use the openfoam loader from tecplot directly. Bruno was right about Tecplot not liking scalar fields after vector fields in .dat files.

Greetings to all!
I was curious about this and I went to check the source code. And all indicates that the fields are stored in the correct order namely:
Therefore, can one of you test something for me? I ask this because I don't have Tecplot to test this with, so here's the request:
If this guess is correct, then this will likely also mean that this utility foamToTecplot360 cannot be used in cases with dynamic mesh refinement, i.e. when the cell count in the mesh increases or decreases. Best regards, Bruno |
