open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Dear All,

I have started using telemac recently and for both pre and post processing I am using Bluekenue. Although it is good, I would like to convert my Selafin files to tecplot format.

I am wondering if anyone had any success installing and using the files given in
$TELEMAC_SOURCE/bin/AddOns/Tecplot_AddOns

I have been able to make a .dll file using the fortran files in
$TELEMAC_SOURCE/bin/AddOns/Tecplot_AddOns/SERAFIN2, but when I try to install that dll in Tecplot I get a windows error.

Is there any documentation on how to get these Telemac-addon to work with tecplot

All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sumit

Hi,

Documentation reference (from tecplot) is available here : download.tecplot.com/360/current/adkum.pdf
I never tried this AddOn on Windows, though I know that BAW is using it on this platform.

Which version of tecplot are you using? I will give it a try.

And please also send me an email (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) I will send you the AddOn project used on Windows by BAW.

Regard,

Thanks a lot Fabien, I will look forward to your mail.

Cheers,

Hi,

Please find the TELEMAC AddOn for Tecplot 2010.
I successfully tried it on the 2010 Release 1 on Windows.
However, as Headers have changed since Tecplot 2010, I was forced to install both MSVC 2005 & Tecplot 2009 for compiling this one. Not very nice though.

Instruction to load the Add-On Serafin (Tecplot 32Bit) (from R
1. Copy serafin64.dll, serafin64.lib and add to the following directory: $Tec360Home\bin;
2. Edit the file tecplot.add in the the home directory of Tecplot ($Tec360Home) and add the following line: $!LoadAddOn "Serafin64";
3. In the navigation pane of Tecplot, go to File>Load Data File(s) and one will find the Telemac Data Loader.

Please let me know if this is working for you.

Best regards,

Fabien Decung

PS : Thanks to Michael & Rebekka (BAW) for releasing this AddOn on Windows

Dear Fabien,

First of all thanks for getting this to me. But unfortunately I am still having problems.

I am running Windows-7 on a 64 bit machine. Initailly when I tried to install the dll, I was getting error about it being a 32 bit application.

Now I am running Tecplot 360 2011 R2, the 32 bit version, apparently I can run 32 bit version of the software on 64bit OS.

But now when I install the dll I get error message as follows

Add-on "Serafin64.dll" could not be loaded
The application has failed to start because it's side by side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail

When I use the mentioned tool in the message above, I can see that the problem is

ERROR: Cannot resolve reference Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50608.0"

My question is, do I have to have visual studio-2005 installed for this add-on to work. I have Microsoft Visual Studio-2008 intsalled.

This has been fairly long and I very much appreciate your asistance, if it doesn't work may be I will resort to Bluekenue for post-processing but it will be just splendid to get the tecplot working.

Best regards,
Sumit

Well, that sounds bad as I indeed compiled the DLL on a 32-Bit Vista.

BlueKenue is of course a good solution as it includes both pre and post processing (and many features) and used by a lot of TELEMAC users.

For Tecplot, it's indeed preferable that you compile yourself this add-on according to your environment (from the archive I recently sent you).

I used MS2005 as the solution was initially created with MSVC 2005. However, I was finally also able to load and compile it in the latest MSVC through its migration assistant.

How to install the AddOn on Windows :

1. load the solution file (".sln") with your MSVC using the migration assistant (automatic)
2. replace old Tecplot include path in > project > properties > C/C++ / General
3. replace old Tecplot bin path in > project > properties > Link(?) / General
4. select the DEBUG target, I got undefined errors in Release mode due to C/C++ mixed settings
5. generate the solution (F7) ie. sera.dll & sera.lib
6. rename them as serafin64.dll & serafin64.lib
7. load the AddOn as explained before

We just acquire the latest Tecplot version so I will certainly be able to send you an update to this.

Best regards,

Fabien,

I never got any .sln file. Could you mail me that ?

I am going to try what you have suggested and see how it goes.

Best regards,
Sumit

Dear All,

With much help from Fabien I was able to install tecplot-addon on my machine.

I want to share .tar file having my solution folder, under the debug directory you can serr.dll and serra.lib. In the preceeding thread Fabien explained how to install this with tecplot.

Finally, I was running windows-7 on 64 bit machine. Tecplot used was Tecplot360 2011 R2, 32 bit version and .sln file was recompiled with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.

Best regards,
Sumit

Fabien,

You mentioned on another post that you have a FORTRAN program that converts selafin file to ASCII format. Is it possible for you to provide me with a copy of this file? Thanks.

Edwin

Hi
Free Post-processors like Blue-Kenue or Fudaa-Prepro are able to read Selafin file and export result as ASCII Files.

Hope this helps
