Hi all


Is there any function which I can use in macro to obtain maximum value for a variable in the data extracted by a precise line in tecplot.





I would use this to normalize the variables using the maximum value and plot it.

Ramesh,

Sure. You can use the "MAXVAR[nnn]" variable. This variable will return the maximum value amongst all active zones, so you have to be sure to have only the zone in question activated. So your macro would look something like this.

#!MC 1410
$!VarSet |ZoneNum| = 3
$!ActiveFieldMaps = [|ZoneNum|]

$!VarSet |MaxValue| = (|MAXVAR[4]|)
$!Pause "Max value is: |MaxValue|"

... Proceed with normalization ...

For transient datasets that FieldMap number and Zone number may not be the same, so make sure you're using the correct value in the $!ActiveFieldMaps call. For more information on variables available in the macro language, see section 7-1 in the Scripting Guide: https://tecplot.azureedge.net/produc...ting_guide.pdf.

There are some interesting macro language extensions as well in section 11-2.
