The Extract Over Time add-on makes it easy to extract slices, iso-surfaces, stream traces and points from polyline geometries in transient data. The resulting zones are assembled into a new "strand," with proper solution times set for each.
- Written by: Scott Fowler
- Compatible with: Tecplot 360 2006 R2
This add-on is included in Tecplot 360 2008 and Tecplot Focus 2008
- Macro Language:
The Extract Over Time add-on has support for the Tecplot macro language, so operations may be recorded and replayed. The macro language syntax is as follows and is not case sensitive:
Slices
$!ADDONCOMMAND ADDONID='Extract Over Time' COMMAND='ExtractSliceOverTime'
Iso-Surfaces
$!ADDONCOMMAND ADDONID='Extract Over Time' COMMAND='ExtractIsoSurfaceOverTime'
Streamtraces
$!ADDONCOMMAND ADDONID='Extract Over Time' COMMAND='ExtractStreamOverTime'
Geometries
$!ADDONCOMMAND ADDONID='Extract Over Time' COMMAND='ExtractGeomOverTime'
Optionally you may specify the number of points to extract by using the following format:
$!ADDONCOMMAND ADDONID='Extract Over Time' COMMAND='ExtractGeomOverTime:nnn'
Where nnn >= 2
If the conditions, stated above, are not met when the macro is played back the action will silently fail and your macro will continue processing.
- Known Limitations:
Please use the forums for questions and comments.
- Slices The frame must be in 3D, contain one or more slices, and contain transient data.
- Iso-Surfaces The frame must be in 3D, contain one or more iso-surfaces, and contain transient data.
- Stream traces The frame must be in 2D or 3D, contain one or more streamtraces, and contain transient data.
- Geometries
The frame must be in 2D or 3D, have exactly one polyline geometry selected, and contain transient data. When the menu option is selected you will be prompted for the number of points along the polyline to extract.
