I am new to OpenFoam. I get the following error message when I use foamToGMV:
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR : cannot open file file: /home/skabilan/workdir/openfoam/weibel/weibel/constant/conversionProperties at line 0. Thanks for your help! |
The error message suggests tha
The error message suggests that the foamToGMV utility requires a file named conversionProperties to be present in the constant directory. You can either ask someone if they have a sample file or reverse-engineer the contents of the file yourself by creating it.

Thanks! I tried creating a file but I get the following error. I need to get the header right for the conversionProperties file. Any help is appreciated.
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR : problem while reading header for object conversionProperties file: /home/skabilan/workdir/openfoam/weibel/weibel/constant/conversionProperties at line 1. From function regIOobject::readStream(const word&) in file db/regIOobject/regIOobjectRead.C at line 75. FOAM exiting |
Try copying the standard heade
Try copying the standard headers from say blockMeshDict and try again. If that works, you'll get a new error message stating which variable was not defined. Then you create this variable inside the file and try to figure out its format based on the next error message. I know this can be tiresome, but it is also a sure way to get the utility to work.

I converted engine simulation
I converted engine simulation results with foamToGMV, but the mesh is not moving. To convert the node coordinates there should be a file region0/points in each time directory. Where can I find such file?

Hi Tomislav,
Where did you
Hi Tomislav,
Where did you get the conversionProperties file? which OpenFOAM looks for when we try the foamToGmv. Thanks Senthil |
Hi Senthil,
I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if you were able to make or get a sample of the conversionProperties file. I'm trying to use foamToGMV as well and wanted to see if you already had a sample you wouldn't mind sharing. Thanks :) |
Greetings Tiffany,
Since this is pretty much the only thread specific for foamToGMV, I guess we might as well finish it off with a proper solution ;) I've checked the source code and did some tests. Here is the wiki page that shows all that probably you'll need to know: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/FoamToGMV Best regards, Bruno |
Thank you, Bruno. That was exactly was I was looking for!
