Mesh Visualisation: Showing every 5th grid point

TomWaits · August 25, 2019, 06:15

Hi All,

Is there a way to show every 5th (or every nth) grid point to better visualise a very fine mesh?

This question was asked in 2010 here: "http://www.tecplottalk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1188" with the answer being no. Have the tecplot updates since allowed for this visualisation?

For a mesh visualization, there is no way to reduce the density of the mesh and which would have to re-do the mesh connectivity within Tecplot. (Other that importing a new mesh and interpolating to it which I'm assuming that's not what you want to do).

If you are interested in looking at the grid points as vectors or scatter points. Those can be reduced and controlled from the "Points">"Point to Plot" & "Index Skip" of the "Zone Style" dialog.
