miki is on a distinguished road
Yesterday I installed (I think correctly) OpenFoam and I started with the cavity tutorial to learn how it works. It seems very very interesting.

But I've a problem... Following the tutorial, after typing "blockMesh" it's suggested to open paraFoam and view the mesh.
But I cannot see nothing!
It's said to check some boxes in the Region Status panel. I think now it's called "Mesh Parts" or I'm wrong?
Well, but even checking every boxes and clicking on Apply button, nothing appears.

Even zooming in or out, changing colors... nothing!


The only things that paraview shows are a lot of red small prints overlaying. They are obtained checking "Show patch names": it'a good sign. Paraview is alive.


Maybe the problem is a very simple thing.
I cannot see any cavity mesh in Paraview's window.
I want to unblock myself from this problem to learn to use OpenFoam

What can I do to see the same mesh that is in the tutorial?

Thanks in advance.
Michele
