TecPlot: How to view every 4th grid point of mesh?

ronithstanly · September 24, 2020, 15:39

Hi,

Now when I take a 2D slice and then visualize the mesh on it (Slices>Details>Other>Show Mesh), I see a very black slice because of the fine mesh.
Can someone tell me how to skip every 4th grid point (or similar) on this slice?

I also tried this solution (http://www.tecplottalk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1188) to extract a sub-zone by skipping points, but the extracted sub-zone did not appear in the list of zones, so I could not select it to be visualized.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks,
Ronith

Slices are an extracted surface that will be a FE zone and you can't really skip values with a FE zone.

Hi novedevon,

Thanks for your answer.

So are you aware of any other way to skip grid points and to visualize it?
I am fine even if it is not visualized on a slice.
