TEC_TO_UCD
Convert TEC Finite Element Data to AVS UCD Format

TEC_TO_UCD is a FORTRAN90 program, which reads a TEC file containing finite element data, and writes an equivalent AVS UCD (Unstructured Cell Data) file.

The TECPLOT home page describes the TECPLOT graphics program.

Usage:

tec_to_ucd tec_file ucd_file

reads the data from tec_file and writes it to ucd_file.
