Dear Foamers,

I want to use advantages in latest paraview version for old OpenFOAM versions like 1.7.x. How can I do that?

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

1. compile OpenFOAM-1.7.x
2. do not compile paraview in third party (optional)
3. download binary or source code for paraview 4.1 from the paraview.org website

If you use precompiled (binary) then:
4. create an alias in .bash_aliases (if you have bash shell) like (optional)
Code:
alias paraview="/home/user/OpenFOAM/paraview-4.1.0/bin/paraview"
5. reload the bash_aliases file or open a new one
6. run a OpenFOAM-1.7.x case
7. create a file with *.foam ending like (openfoam.foam; paraview.foam) in the case folder
8. Start paraview 4.1 with your command "paraview" (if you have no alias you have to start it directly)
9. load the created file with ending "*foam"


Enjoy
