Hi Ajeesh,

If you want tecplot .dat file, please use

Hi nektar-users,

I am trying to obtain tecplot readable formats from some Nek5000 outputs I already have; using the FieldConvert utility available in Nektar++ (It also supports the reading of data files from Nek5000 as claimed in the user guide).

The command given to convert the nek5000 outputs to Nektar++ outputs is as follows;

FieldConvert input.fld output.fld
However, the output format (ASCII) of nek5000 is actually .fld followed by some numbers indicating the timesteps.
The output for each timestep is written separately.

FieldConvert fails to identify this format and listed the supported formats as .fld or .fld5000 while the second one is given specifically to read the Nek5000 outputs.
I am not sure whether this is an old format of nek5000; anyway I did not find any information about this format online.

I would like to kno if anyone tried this or have an idea whether FieldConvert still supports Nek5000 output files or not.

Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
