S5.Tecplot.TecplotData

class S5.Tecplot.TecplotData(filename=None)

Bases: object

Represent a Tecplot File.

title

Title of the tecplot file.

zone

Tecplot zone header.

data

Data within the file as a Pandas DataFrame.

Examples

>>> motor = TecplotData("Motor.dat")

__init__(filename=None)

Methods

__init__([filename])
check_zone()	Check the zone detail matches the DataFrame.
readfile(filename)	Read the file and load populate self.data with the contents.
update_zone_1d()	Update the zone detail assuming a 1d data structure.
write_tecplot(filename[, datum])	Write the TecplotData to a .dat file.

check_zone() → bool

Check the zone detail matches the DataFrame.

This is not an exhaustive check, but just a check to make sure that the number of rows matchs the produce of I*J*K in the Zone line.

Returns:

True if the zone detail matches the total rows

Examples

>>> velocity = TecplotData("Velocity.dat")
>>> if not velocity.check_zone():
>>>     print("Zone detail mismatch!!")

readfile(filename: str | PathLike) → None

Read the file and load populate self.data with the contents. :param filename: Path to datafile in Tecplot format.

Returns:

None, data from the file is loaded into the instance as the self.data attribute

Examples

>>> data = TecplotData()
>>> data.readfile("Velocity.dat")

update_zone_1d()

Update the zone detail assuming a 1d data structure.

Update the zone detail such that i = the size of the dataframe in self.data.

Examples

>>> velocity = TecplotData("Velocity.dat")
>>> velocity.update_zone_1d()

write_tecplot(filename, datum=False) → None

Write the TecplotData to a .dat file.

Parameters:

• filename – Filename including extension (.dat)

• datum – If DSW datum lines are written, default false

Returns:

None

Examples

>>> velocity = TecplotData("Velocity.dat")
>>> velocity.write_tecplot("Velocity.dat")
