3D tecplot file (.plt) to 3D object (.fbx)

ahr · November 22, 2019, 16:06

Hi

I have a 3d tecplot (*.plt) file (X,Y,Z coordinates). I wonder if it is possible to export the file as a 3D files such as (*.fbx), so that I can insert it into power point as a 3D object.

We don't have a direct (*.fbx) exporter. However, Tecplot 360 has a Python API (https://www.tecplot.com/docs/pytecplot/) which could be used to access the data and export to the *.fbx format.

You may also have to use the FBX SDK, available here: https://www.autodesk.com/developer-n...fbx-sdk-2020-0

Can someone point me to any online resource that shows how to do this conversion? I totally donot know on how to use FBX SDK.

It will be greatly helpful.

Thanks IA.
