foamToVTK problem!!!!

gnut1989 · January 27, 2015, 03:22

Dear everybody,

I am doing some examples from
http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kur...pplication.pdf

And I had a problem at slide 32.

When I ran foamToVTK, I had a problem with it and the error as below
Create time
Create mesh for time = 0
fileName::stripInvalid() called for invalid fileName positions(copy)~
For debug level (= 2) > 1 this is considered fatal
Aborted (core dumped)

Could you please help me to solve this problem???

Thank you very much!

Hi,

foamToVTK explicitly told you that it does not like "positions(copy)~" file. I think it is trailing tilde.

Thanks for you quick help!

I did step by step as the instruction in the slides, everything is done but when I ran foamToVTK, the error occur. I do not know what my mistake is in this problem.

I hope that you can help me correct it.

thanks!

Well,

You've got plenty of choices:

1. Find a file with a name "positions(copy)~", delete it, see if it helps.

2. Wait till somebody who did this tutorial and got the same error come to the forum and post step-by-step solution for you.

3. Wait till somebody downloads tutorial, tries to follow it through, gets the same error, posts the solution.

2 & 3 are rather unlikely.
