Tecplot in cmd

It’s kinda weird to use command lines in Windows (maybe a lot of people do it, who knows) but the reason I’m using it is that in Windows based Matlab, the “system” function will just call cmd. So if I need to run something inside a Matlab loop, I should learn how to use cmd.

Here is the command line I used to open a data file and run a python script in Tecplot:

C:\ /WAIT tec360 -b -datafile C:\something.plt -p C:\some\python.py

/WAIT is to hold the program until it’s done
-b is batch mode, include this otherwise you will see the GUI
-datafile is reading file
-p is executing python script
Note that the python script must be put in the python path otherwise Tecplot won’t find it.
