Note: This should no longer be an issue. Download the latest release or get a free trial. Problem: Tecplot crashes with X Error: GLXBadContext. Solution: One possible cause could be due to a security issue in Xorg that disables the “indirect mode” in GLX. If that is the case then the solution is to enable the GLX indirect mode.
This problem affects Chorus version number 16.1.0.68773 and earlier. If you can, upgrade to Tecplot Chorus 2016 R2 or later ». Problem: Tecplot Chorus has incorrectly interpreted numbers that use a comma for the decimal marker (common in European countries) as not a number (NaN). This results in values being incorrectly filtered out of plots in Tecplot Chorus. The problem became apparent when we added “constraint visualization” to the table […]
After the first surface or transient data animation sweep cycle, subsequent cycles play too fast. Streamline animations also play too fast. How can I slow this down? Please use the View.. Minimum Time Between Frames option. It is recommended that you set this back to 0 immediately afterward so that the delay doesn’t persist. This is similar to the Frame Rate option on the Flipbook Panel. Note that FieldView supports […]
I would like to have FieldView default to my current working directory when browsing for Data Input files, restarts, etc., but the last used directory seems to be the default. Can this be changed? Some users prefer the current working directory to be the default, so we have made this possible by allowing you to set the environment variable FV_OLD_BROWSER_BEHAVIOR=1 In addition, when working with Server Configuration (.srv) files for […]
Is there a way to run local licensed parallel on a multiprocessor system, but limit FieldView to a certain number of processors? You can create a custom Server Configuration file (.srv) which sets the number of FieldView servers you’d like to use. For example, you can create a file named local_5_slaves.srv which looks like the following, in order to provide 5 FieldView server processes for use in post processing […]
How can I apply my work to another dataset? The current state of FieldView is saved with “Restarts”. Restarts can later be used to recreate all of your visualization objects on a given set of data. Similar to working with most applications, we encourage you to use File.. Save Restart.. Complete.. to save your entire visualization often as you work with FieldView in order to save “snapshots” of your work. When later […]
How can I get started with writing FVX scripts? We recommend you start with the GuideFVX file (.fvx) which is created as part of your “complete restart”. For any visualization you make, the File.. Save Restart.. Complete option will also create an FVX example, known as Guide FVX, which when run, will closely replicate your visualization, with minor limitations. Our installation also provides ./demo/aerospace_LDM.fvx which you can run and explore. […]

How can I read Tecplot format data into FV? Binary Tecplot format files are among the data types which can be read using the GENERIC Unstructured..& Data Input option. If you have ASCII format Tecplot files, you can use Tecplot’s Preplot converter to make a binary file.
Problem: On some systems, you may see a partial (right side and bottom) black border around an image exported from Tecplot 360, even when borders are turned off for the frame. This is caused by an off-by-one issue with some combinations of platforms and graphics drivers. Solution: If your system is affected by this issue, you can address it by adding the following lines to your tecplot.cfg file. You may […]
