Thank you for your help, Huang!

I changed the foamToTecplot.C file, but I keep getting an error message:

foamToTecplot.C: In function ‘bool Foam:perator==(const Foam::VectorSpace<Form, Cmpt, nCmpt>&, const Foam::VectorSpace<Form, Cmpt, nCmpt>&) [with Form = Foam::Vector<double>, Cmpt = double, int nCmpt = 3]’:
foamToTecplot.C:121: internal compiler error: Illegal instruction
...
make: *** [Make/linuxGccDPOpt/foamToTecplot.o] Fehler 1

Do you have an idea how to fix this?
Best regards,

Steffen

It seems to me that you are using 1.6v rather 1.6.xv. Maybe the constructor interface has been updated. it works for me under 1.6.x OpenFoam. download dkingsley's scripts. In that files, there is no vectorSpace.

Just do it.
foamToTecplot can be compiled right!
It seems the volPointInterpolation implementation has been revised on OF-1.6!

Tecplot,Inc. in conjunction with OpenCFD® is pleased to announce the availability of an OpenFOAM-to-Tecplot data converter application at the OpenFOAM® 1.6.x git repository.

Steps for installing the converter are:
1. Set your TEC_360_2009 environment variable to the root of your Tecplot360 folder if it isn’t already set.
2. Download the bug fix/patched version from the repository
3. Run Allwmake in the foamToTecplot360 source directory since the tecio libraries need to be built first.


The converter will work with the following OpenFOAM® results:
- static mesh, multiple time steps
- moving mesh (geometry only changes)
- changing mesh (geometry and topology changes)
- polyhedral cell support
- point values (internal fields)
- point values (boundary fields)
- cell values (internal fields)
- cell values (boundary fields)
- multiple sets of lagrangian data ('clouds') with fields
- outputting a mesh with multiple regions

Please contact Scott Rumage ( s . rumage @ tecplot . com) if you have any questions or would like more information about the converter.

OpenFOAM® is a registered trademark of OpenCFD® Ltd., who are the producers of the OpenFOAM® software and owner of the OpenFOAM® and OpenCFD® trademarks.

One small correction to Scott's post: you need to run Allwmake in the foamToTecplot360 source directory since the tecio libraries need to be built first.

Good morning,
I don't find foamToTecplot in the .gtgz version of OF.
Unfortunatly I don't have access to the internet with linux, only with windows. And I don't manage to find the link to this new utility.
Can someone help me please?

Thanks a lot!

If it's any help, you can browse the OpenFOAM 1.6.x git repository directory containing the foamToTecplot360 source code at:
http://repo.or.cz/w/OpenFOAM-1.6.x.g...amToTecplot360

You can download the tgz archive of the foamToTecplot360 directory tree in the repository by using the 'tar.gz' link in the top left corner of the same page.

I'd suggest you build an entire distribution snapshot rather than try patching different repository directories together.

Hope this helps.

Hi Dear Scott,

Thanks very much for this awesome tool, foamToTecplot.

Unfortunately, the code doesn't work for my case. I have too many meshes (2 million) and my geometry is a simple box with unifrom cartesian meshes. When I run the code, ir gives me: "Segmentation Fault" error, which I don't know what is about. I should also mention that when I lower the number of meshes (e.g. 0.5 million) it works fine!

Could you please help me with this?

Dear Mani,

I am not aware of any limitation of the converter based on mesh size. Accordingly, the size of mesh at 2 million cells should not be the issue that is creating the segmentation fault.

Sorry that I am unable to help with a suggested solution.

Regards,
Scott

Dear Scott,

Isn't there any limitations on the number of the variables? My varaiables are more than 20!

One can have over 30 000 (thirty thousand) variables in a Tecplot 360 data set.

However, if one is combining data set "A" with data set "B" into one session of 360, then the data sets must have the same amount of variables. For example if data set "A" has variables x,y,z,u,v,w then data set "B" will need to have the same variable set if one wishes to view both results together in 360.

Dear Scott,

I downloaded the foamToTecplot360, but didn't manage to compile the tecio lib...
I do not find the right platform.
When I run the "uname -a" command, I get:
Linux MY_COMPUTER 2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP [date] x86_64 GNU/Linux

How can I compile the tecio lib? which platform do I have to choose?
Best regards,
Julien

Dear Julien,

If Tecplot is installed on your machine, when you run it the platform will be listed in the first line of the command window. It should look something like: Tecplot 12.1.1.xxxx - hh:mm:ss mm-dd-yyyy [platform].

Also note that even if the platform is not on the TecIO build script list, it may still work as the list hasn't been kept up to date with our supported platforms. However, I must also add, that if the platform is not supported, we do not guarantee that it will work.

Alternatively, you can try downloading and running this shell script:

http://download.tecplot.com/QuerySys

to determine the platform.

Please let us know if this helps.

Best regards,
Scott

Dear Scott,

I am so sorry to bother again. But I wondered if the tool works for OpenFOAM 1.5 also.

Thanks in advance
Mani

Dear Mani,

The converter is not supported for use with 1.5 data but I am aware that some users have successfully used it for results from this version.

So the best I can say is “give it a try” to see if it will work for you.

Regards,
Scott

P.S. I will be on holiday from 18 to 27 December, and will not be responding to this thread during that time.
