Greetings Heba,

Do you mean post-processing in VTK or ParaView?

If it's VTK, you can use foamToVTK to export data in OpenFOAM to VTK files.
As for using VTK, I'm not aware of any specific tutorials for OpenFOAM->VTK, so I suggest you check the official VTK wiki for more information: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK
For learning on how to use VTK: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Learning_VTK

Best regards,
Bruno
