Foam->Fluent->Tecplot doesn't work well. Some solution field (e.g. gamma) will be lost along the conversion process.

Hi, Luckyluke,
We made a very preliminary tool: foamToTecplot. You can download the file from http://jslx.kmip.net/foamToTecplot-.tar.gz and at your $HOME, use the following command to put it into the right place. tar zxvf foamToTecplot-.tar.gz then go to $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.1/applications/utilities/postProcessing/dataConversion / wmake That's all! After get into (your working dir.)/run/tutorials/icoFoam, you can use "foamToTecplot . cavity" to transform the data of the first example into tecplot format. If you can improve it, please send me a copy. Best, Chui-Jie WU |

It might be small enough if it is cleared-out of binary versions. Have you run wclean in the directory before packing? Do you have more than one binary version built in there? 32 and 64bit? Check the contents of the Make directory, you should only have files and options in there if everything is cleared-out well.

After you download the file foamToTecplot-.tar.gz go to your $HOME, use the following command to put it into the right place. tar zxvf foamToTecplot-.tar.gz then go to $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.1/applications/utilities/postProcessing/dataConversion/foamToTecplot/ and input: wmake I compiled it under RedHat Linux 9.

Hallo Chui-Jie.
I don't have problems with compiling. Then I try to translte result from Example icoFoam -> cavity. In result file 2 last colomns seem like unnecessary. Tecplot 10 can not read file. When I try to open file I recive message Err: Err: Fe Cell 1 has bad index of 0. Error occurred on line 621... |

Hi, Dear Andrey,
Thanks for your email! Since I do not have Tecplot 10.0, I only did the test in Tecplot 9.0 and without any problem. Did you get something like the enclosed file? Please try the enclosed file in Tecplot 10.0. I will try to get a Tecplot 10.0 and test in it. 0.5.dat.gz What do you mean "In result file 2 last colomns seem like unnecessary."? Best, CJ |

Hi CJ,
I understand my problem. I have started at first Ucomponents and then foamToTecplot. Therefore I recieved 3 additional columns. Wnen I delete files Ux, Uy, Uz, I have no problems with icoFoam -> cavity and converter. But then I started to convert dieselFoam->aachenBomb There is one small problem. At the beginning of the resulting file from foamToTecplot are only X, Y, Z, Vx, Vy, Vz, P wrote as header varialbles. When resulting directory has other variables (T, dQ, k, etc), it must be added by hands. |

Hi, Chui-Jie WU,
I tested your foamToTec file converting program. When I ploted the cavity mesh which is in the tut dir., I found mesh was kinked. SO I read the source file writeTecfile.H, and found that vertex numbering is not correct. OpenFoam's vertex numbering for the hex element can be directly used for the tecplot. That is, vertex ordering of the shapeLabels is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 for hex 0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 for wedge 0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5 for prism 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4 for pyramid 0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3 for tet Anyone, please check which vertex ordering is correct for tecplot plotting, and post the results Thanks. |

Jontage,
You're right. The shapeLabels should be changed as you mentioned. Actually, I only changed and tested the "hex" that is: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 for hex and didn't change "wedge" or others. I guess for the other cases, you're right too. PS: Don't you think this is the correct order for wedge? 0, 1, 2, 0, 3, 4, 5, 6 for wedge |

Hallo,
I changed the vertex ordering as proposed by Jongtae Kim and made the 'VARIABLES...' declaration in writeTECfile.H automatically. I tested it for my hex-mesh and the pitzDaily test-case and worked fine. The code is attached. foamToTecplot.tar.gz markus |

I guess this "foamToTecplot" still has some shortcomings. If you refine mesh at some cells using "refineMesh", "foamToTecplot" gives error. It doesn't convert to Tecoplot data, while for example, "foamToFieldview" easily converts it into Fieldview. Any ideas?

My guess is that you have polyhedral cells. These cannot be handled by Tecplot so would need to be decomposed by the converter and this probably isn't being done.
