How to increase tecplot significant digits?

JohnE · April 14, 2022, 07:52

Hi,guys.

My original data had 12 significant digits if I use fluent to export data with ASCII format.

When I try to set contour level in Tecplot it seem to be limited within 6 significant digits(when I try manual to set levels with 7 significant digits data but the last digit is automatically removed，Please see the figures I upload)？

How can I increase number of significant digits in tecplot setting cotours level, not the legend lables number format.?

Is anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks~~~

Tecplot 360 loads and stores data as double precision. So this is a dialog display issue, not a data issue. There is currently no way to change the precision displayed in those fields.

You should be able to see the full precision in the Data>Spreadsheet.

The Write Data as Formatted Text feature has a "Change Variable Format" dialog - so if you're writing to CSV you can specify the precision there.

I hope this helps.
