Schedule of labs and
contents of each lab:
- Before doing anything
please set your default shell to bash by going to the following link
- New User Print History Data base
- Each lab is focused
toward the student practicing the
various commands and operations for a better understanding of the
material. Each exercise is accompanied with a short summary regarding
the commands. Labs require the student to diligently complete the
exercises so that the commands and the linux environment become
familiar. The labs mainly deal with the command line interface or
shell, but in certain cases the gui apps are also explained.

applications explained in the
labs

Tecplot and Post Processing
eThe current version of tecplot has
been updated from tecplot 10 to tecplot 360. However, in some
machines tecplot 10 will be still available. The gui interface in
tecplot360 has been updated to make the operations more efficient for
the user. For large scale cfd models tecplot360 is ideal since the
rendering engine has been further optimized for speed and efficiency.
The fundamental commands and scripts are the same as the previous
version. The current website deals with tecplot 10 only.
- Tecplot html manual
- visual instructional guides
to using tecplot
- tecplot manual in pdf format
- Sample codes for various
plotting formats
- Plot3d
- formatted and Unformatted
- Airfoil coordinates
- Airfoild database

server. These links are local to /usr/local/...... directory structure.
If you cannot access these links using mozilla then copy the link
location and paste it in the address
bar of the brouser. If you use konqueror you should have no
problems.
