I am once again seeking for advice :/



I have multiple .plt solution files from my CFD analysis. All for the exact same mesh with the same number of zones and variables, but with slightly different results. Now i want to gather all of my .plt files and calculate an averaged solution. I am trying to solve it using PyTecplot for easy automation and additional cases, but my knownledge is limited and I'm only getting error after error.



Being honest, this sounds like a pretty easy task - just loop through every variable in every zone, add them up, divide by number of .plt files and export to new file.



I can't be the first one that comes up with this problem, however I haven't found any existing code. If you have suggestions, I'll be deeply thankful!

We have a PyTecplot script build for that exact purpose!

It's available here:

And we have a video demonstrating it here:
