This add-on uses a different algorithm than Tecplot 360 EX for sorting the solution times. This differs from the native Tecplot macro language as it does not require that you know the solution time of your data. The Extend Time Macro add-on simplifies the macro interface by allowing you to use a simple loop to query the number of solution times in the dataset and advance the time step. $!EXPORTSETUP EXPORTFNAME = "FILE_|LOOP|.png"

$!EXTENDEDCOMMAND COMMANDPROCESSORID='extend time mcr' COMMAND='SET.CURTIMESTEP |LOOP|' $!EXTENDEDCOMMAND COMMANDPROCESSORID='extend time mcr' COMMAND='QUERY.NUMTIMESTEPS NUMTIMESTEPS' At each time step the current time step is set and an image is exported. This macro first finds out how many time steps are in your dataset, then it loops over those time steps. This macro reads and edits different time steps and produces transient plots. If you do not already have Tecplot 360 running, you can download a Free Trial. We recommend that you download the macros, datasets and layout files used in the descriptions below.
