The invention is a TecPlot macro, which is a computer program in the TecPlot programming language that processes CFD (computational fluid dynamics) solutions in TecPlot format. The TecPlot data is in SI units (International System of Units) [same as CFD solutions]. This invention converts the SI units into U.S. customary units.
The conversion is complicated because it must be applied to a range of inter-related scalars and vectors to describe a 2D or 3D flow field. The invention is quick and easy to use, and can be inserted into an automated data-processing algorithm.
