SU2 history.dat files not opening in Tecplot

joshkellyjak · January 10, 2022, 12:01

Hi,

I'm fairly new to SU2 so apologies if this is a fairly trivial question. I'm running an unsteady simulation based upon the APU turbocharger test case and my simulation diverges. I want to check the convergence history in tecplot using the history .dat files but they don't open in tecplot, I get the error

unexpected end of file after location I,J,K var = 55,1,1,17 tecplot

This occurs with a history.dat file of a completed simulation also, can anyone help?

I have attached my .cfg file for reference.

Thank you in advance

Hi,

could you please attach the history file? In the meanwhile, you can use gnuplot to see the convergence.

Here's the history.dat file for both zones

The header of tecplot files lists 72 variables (line 2), while the written data are 71. I don't know which data is missing, but you can open the file with tecplot by deleting, for example, the string "Time(min)".
