The following input window appears:

Input for the TECPLOT output

Output

This determines the name of the output file to which the specific extension is appended.

Data and results

The desired data types are selected here.

By entering a point in time under "Go to ...", the display in the results data (after a transient calculation) jumps to the point in time entered.

The output for TECPLOT generally writes the model or result data for all layers. The user can then select the desired layer in the TECPLOT programme.

Several data types can be selected by holding down the Ctrl key. If all model or result data is to be exported, a corresponding "Select all data or results" checkbox is available below the list.

It is also possible to export the existing markings in the model for TECPLOT. To do this, activate the "Markings" checkbox.

To save in TECPLOT's new block format, the corresponding checkbox is activated. For 3D models, this format also exports the layer number as an element-centred attribute, which allows element layers to be shown or hidden in TECPLOT.

The buttons at the top of the input window allow you to reset the input parameters (), open an existing batch file () or save the current batch file under a different name ()
