Animating .dat file

siamakghh2000 · April 21, 2014, 07:00

Hello there,
I have a dat file it includes columns like (V1,V2,V3,V4,...). I want to plot a curve like (x=V1,y=V2,Z=V3) and then animate it into (V1,V2,V4) and then (V1,V2,V5) ...and so on. Any idea is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

I would create zones (V1,V2,V3), (V1,V2,V4), (V1,V2,V5), ... and animate over these zones. Just give them a different solutiontime. You may want to use the Tecplot data format guide, and the "Animate -> Time" menu.

Thank you. But there is a problem, I have many V's. Creating zones one by one manually is gonna last for ever. I am thinking there may be a way to handle this.
