Master Tecplot 360 visualization and post-processing for CFD, simulation, experimental, and numerical-model data
What you'll learn

---

Tecplot 360 Data Import: Prepare and import text-based, experimental, numerical-model, hydrodynamic, and CFD output data
Scientific Plotting: Create publication-ready line plots, bar charts, multi-axis plots, and professional engineering figures
2D Contour Visualization: Build clear contour plots using Zones, Variables, Set Levels, Constraints, Value Blanking, and legends
Repeatable Post-Processing: Use Tecplot layouts, reusable styles, and project files to update figures faster when data changes
Data Preparation and Units: Organize Variables and Zones, edit text data, and convert units with Tecplot Specify Equation
Professional Figure Export: Format axes, labels, legends, and export high-resolution plots for theses, papers, reports, and presentations
Requirements

---

Basic familiarity with scientific, engineering, experimental, or simulation data is helpful, but no prior Tecplot 360 experience is required.
Description

---

Note: This is a project-based Tecplot 360 course built around real-world engineering and scientific datasets. Through practical examples, you will go step by step from raw simulation, experimental, and numerical-model data to clear, publication-ready figures. The same visualization workflows can also be applied to CFD post-processing.
Do you find it challenging to turn your complex simulation results or experimental datasets into high-resolution, professional figures required for your thesis, papers, or technical reports?
Are you tired of tedious, manual plotting that forces you to redo your work from scratch every time your data or simulation scenarios update?
Do you struggle to bridge the gap between numerical-model output-such as hydrodynamic models, CFD simulations, or experimental datasets-and Tecplot 360 to generate clear 2D contours and professional engineering visualizations?
In this comprehensive course, you'll learn arepeatable workflow for high-qualityscientific visualization. We don't just teach software buttons; we teach you how tostructure data, import it effectively, and build clear,reusable plot layouts.
Whether you are a student preparing a thesis, a researcher creating figures for journal submissions, or an engineer communicating simulation results, you will learn how to take control of your visual output. By the end of the course, you'll be able to create professional,publication-ready figures that are clear, impactful, and easier to adapt when your data changes.
What makes this course different?
Professional Workflow for Academic and Technical Figures: Move beyond default settings to create clean, high-impact visuals suitable for journal-ready figures, theses, technical reports, and presentations.
Repeatable Plotting Workflows: Usemaster plot layouts, reusable styles, andTecplot project files to make future revisions faster and maintain visual consistency across figures.
Simulation and Numerical Model Data Integration: Prepare and importtext-based data andnumerical-model output, includingCE-QUAL-W2-style data, then transform raw results into professionalline plots,bar charts,multi-axis plots, and2D contour plots.
Practical Scientific Visualization Tools: UseZones,Variables,Mapping Style,Axis Details,Specify Equation,Set Levels,Constraints,Value Blanking, andcontour legends to make engineering data clearer and easier to interpret.
Please watch this course and feel free to ask questions as you work through the modules. Use theQ&A section during your own visualization process-I am here to help youtroubleshoot data-preparation and plotting challenges so you can present your engineering results with confidence.
Who this course is for
