Tecplot 360 2013R1 Prism Grid boundary error

maxHu · December 13, 2018, 16:36

Hi,

I'm trying to use the Tool Prism Grid in Tecplot 360 2013R1 in order to make 3d volume (describing a river) I can interpolate into. The river I am assessing has a large bend in it, and prism grid seems to want to interpolate across that bend. Is there a way to set a boundary across which prism grid will not interpolate?

Included is a picture of the issue I'm having. Let me know if any additional information is required.

Thanks in advance.

I've actually solved my own problem, and so I thought I'd share the solution.

I first started with a 2d triangulation using a boundary following these steps:

I then used that triangulation output as the input for prism grid, rather than the raw data, which solved my issue.
