Hi Jan, I do not believe we currently have a direct output to matlab but am aware a few people are converting it indirectly (can anyone else comment on this?). If you are using the FieldConvert utility to generate the tecplot format it would probably be pretty easy to add a new module to get to matlab format directly. This utility has input, processing and output modules and so essentially we would need to copy the tecplot output module and make it into a matlab compatible format. However what ending do you typically require in matlab (it might indeed also be .dat?). Also what formatting changes are you making to that the tecplot output as things currently stand. Cheers, Spencer.

Up till now I convert the output files to the tecplot format and then read them into matlab. Thank you very much in advance With best regards Jan Jan-Niklas Hau, M.Sc.
