Hi, I'm using snappyHexMesh to generate OpenFOAM mesh on windows OS. I'd like view the result of the mesh but I don't know how to use paraview to see the mesh refinements.
Any suggestion? Thank you! Ale |

Hi Bruno,
1. OpenFOAM for MS windows http://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoam-mswin/ 2. Just unzip the file 3. Yes, I've seen the tutorials but they refer to paraFOAM. I've installed paraView 4.1.0 for windows. I've also generate (succesfully) the mase with snappy, but I don't know how to see that in paraview. |

Hi Alessandro,
That's a pretty outdated and unsupported project, but that's up to you! I usually suggest blueCFD-SingleCore, which is more recent and has a bit of support: http://code.google.com/p/bluecfd-singlecore/ - Disclaimer: I'm the guy responsible for it Either way, a good wiki page with a full list of available variants is this one: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Windows Anyway, ranting aside, the solution is simple and has been discussed here on the forum in the past... let me see if I can find it... here's one: Quote:
Best regards, Bruno

Thank you Bruno,
now I'm able to see my mesh and looks great! It was generated into 2 time step. How can I use it? Can I just copy the polymesh folder of folder 2 into constant folder? |

If you were using a more recent version/port of OpenFOAM, you could use the command line option "-overwrite" in snappyHexMesh, which would tell it to always save in the latest mesh folder, i.e. "constant" in this case.
