tec_to_vtk


tec_to_vtk, an Octave code which reads a tecplot() TEC graphics file containing 80 images of the motion and deformation of a red blood cell, and outputs 80 separate VTK unstructured grid files, which can be read into PARAVIEW and animated.

The program was written to handle a single specific file. Some parts of the program might be useful for someone needing a similar kind of translation.

Usage:

tec_to_vtk ( 'rbc' )
expects to read the TECPLOT ASCII file 'rbc.tec' and creates 'rbc_001.vtk' through 'rbc_080.vtk'.
