基于笛卡尔网格的三维流动数值模拟,其流场信息可以通过tecplot格式进行输出,方便tecplot对流场进行可视化处理,但对数据进行在加工时,还是导入matlab中比较方便,那么对于一个tecplot数据文件,matlab是不能直接读取的,必须有一个函数将tecplot数据文件中数据转换成matlab便于操作的数据格式。
tecplot数据文件前三行是文件头,其中第一行是数据文件说明,第二行中是文件中所定义的变量名,第三行,对于笛卡尔网格的流场,其包含了每个空间方向上离散的数据数目。通过处理第二行文本,可以获取所定义的变量及其数目。
tecplot文件中数据一行是一个记录,一行中数据的顺序和文件头中第二行定义的变量顺序相对应,通常前三个数据是x,y,z,对应网格点空间位置。

1、matlab读取tecplot文件,通过读取文件头获取文件所定义变量以及变量数目,同时读取文件中所包含数据信息,所读取的数据保存在一个四维数组中,最后一个维度代表每个变量,变量名保存在一个元胞数组中。
1.1 tecplot数据为空间三维流场,tecplot2mat_3D
% read data from tecplot file, and save the variables to mat % filename: the name of the tecplot file including the extensions % var: the data of variables, is a four dimensions array, the last dimension is the the number of variable % var_name: the name of the variables, is a cell % var_num: the number of the variables function [var,var_name,var_num] = tecplot2mat_3D(filename) %% tecplot data file read % open the file fid = fopen(filename); % read the second line of data file [~] = fgetl(fid); str = fgetl(fid); % get the number of the variables o1 = regexpi(str,'"','start'); var_num = length(o1)/2; % get the name of the variables var_name = cell(1,var_num); for i = 1:var_num var_name{1,i} = str(o1(2*i-1)+1:o1(2*i)-1); end % read the data strformat = repmat('%f',1,var_num); data = textscan(fid,strformat,'headerlines',1); data = cell2mat(data); % close the file fclose(fid); %% reshape data % get discrete points xi = sort(unique(data(:,1))); yi = sort(unique(data(:,2))); zi = sort(unique(data(:,3))); % number of the discrete points num_x = length(xi); num_y = length(yi); num_z = length(zi); % initialize the three demonsions array var = zeros(num_x,num_y,num_z,var_num); % assignment the array according to the data for n = 1:size(data,1) % method 1: we don't know the relationship between the number and the index, we must find the index according to the value % index_x = find( data(n,1) == xi ); % index_y = find( data(n,2) == yi ); % index_z = find( data(n,3) == zi ); % method 2: we know the relationship between the value and the index, we can directly access the index index_x = data(n,1) + 1; index_y = data(n,2) + 1; index_z = data(n,3) + 1; % access the data for i = 1:var_num var(index_x,index_y,index_z,i) = data(n,i); end end fprintf('reshape the data\n'); %% data save to mat index_str = find( '.' == filename ); if isempty(index_str) else filename = filename( 1:index_str-1 ); end eval(['save ',filename,'.mat var var_name var_num;']); fprintf('save the data\n'); end
1.2 tecplot数据为空间二维流场,tecplot2mat_2D
% read data from tecplot file, and save the variables to mat % filename: the name of the tecplot file including the extensions % var: the data of variables, is a three dimensions array, the last dimension is the the number of variable % var_name: the name of the variables, is a cell % var_num: the number of the variables, is a number function [var,var_name,var_num] = tecplot2mat_2D(filename) %% tecplot data file read % open the file fid = fopen(filename); % read the second line of data file [~] = fgetl(fid); str = fgetl(fid); % get the number of the variables o1 = regexpi(str,'"','start'); var_num = length(o1)/2; % get the name of the variables var_name = cell(1,var_num); for i = 1:var_num var_name{1,i} = str(o1(2*i-1)+1:o1(2*i)-1); end % read the data strformat = repmat('%f',1,var_num); data = textscan(fid,strformat,'headerlines',1); data = cell2mat(data); % close the file fclose(fid); %% reshape data % get discrete points xi = sort(unique(data(:,1))); yi = sort(unique(data(:,2))); % number of the discrete points num_x = length(xi); num_y = length(yi); % initialize the three demonsions array var = zeros(num_x,num_y,var_num); % assignment the array according to the data for n = 1:size(data,1) % method 1: we don't know the relationship between the number and the index, we must find the index according to the value % index_x = find(data(n,1) == xi); % index_y = find(data(n,2) == yi); % method 2: we know the relationship between the value and the index, we can directly access the index index_x = data(n,1) + 1; index_y = data(n,2) + 1; % access the data for i = 1:var_num var(index_x,index_y,i) = data(n,i); end end fprintf('reshape the data\n'); %% data save to mat index_str = find( '.' == filename ); if isempty(index_str) else filename = filename( 1:index_str-1 ); end eval(['save ',filename,'.mat var var_name var_num;']); fprintf('save the data\n'); end
2、测试脚本,读取给定的TECPLOT文件名,输出文件包含数据以及将文件中定义的变量加载到MATLAB工作区
clc;clear; close all; filename = 'U3D.dat'; [var,var_name,var_num] = tecplot2mat_3D(filename); for i = 1:var_num eval([var_name{1,i},'=var(:,:,:,i);']); end
3、测试结果,tecplot文件定义的变量就全部加载到工作区了。
