How to calculate track area over time?

sidkamat · January 11, 2024, 17:46

Hello everyone. I am working on a bubble-shockwave interaction problem and I want to calculate the changing area of the bubble over time. Does anyone have any idea on about how to do this in Tecplot? I have attached two images that show the bubble at the start and at the end so you get an idea of what I am talking about. Thanks.Screenshot 2024-01-11 164025.png

Based on the image, it looks like you have a 2D rectangular domain with a void in the middle, representing the bubble.

You might try "Analyze > Perform Integration" and then choose "Length/Area/Volume". This will give you the area for the domain, which you could subtract from the theoretical area of the rectangular domain.

To do this over time, it would be best to use PyTecplot, our Python scripting language.

I realize I'm a few months late in responding here. If you still need help, please reach out.
