[OpenFOAM] Is it possible to use ParaView 321 with OF 141

pasinari · December 28, 2007, 07:13

Hi,

I have some problems in using ParaView 2.4.4 with my system (Ubuntu 7.10) essentially because of Beryl. The GUI shows some strange transparency in the buttons. The problem has been already fixed by ParaView 3.2.1.

Is it possible to use ParaView 3.2.1 with OF 1.4.1. I tried by substituting the files in the folder paraview-2.4.4, but it is not working. Any suggestions ?

Thanks,
Pietro

You can use the foamToVTK converter.

You'll have to adapt your $WM_PROJECT_DIR/$FOAM_DOT_DIR/apps/paraview/bashrc (sourced from your ~/.OpenFOAM-1.4.1/bashrc) to pick up the correct paraview executable.
