Hi, I am new to Ubuntu as well as openFoam
I installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS and after that openfoam 2.3.1 then instead of installing paraviewopenfoam 410 I installed paraviewopenfoam 50. I thought it would give a better view for post processing. But it is not working. What I understood is because the openfoam 2.3 have inbuilt configuration for paraview 4.1 can someone teach me how to make openfoam 2.3 work with paraview 5.0, if it is possible? or do i have to install paraview 4.1? |

Quick answer: If you only have ParaView 5 from the OpenFOAM 4.1 deb packages, then that means that you need to use the built-in reader, by running the following command:
Code:
paraFoam -builtin The file extension ".OpenFOAM" is meant to be open in ParaView with OpenFOAM's reader, which is part of OpenFOAM's own installation, because it links directly to "libOpenFOAM.so". You can have 2 OpenFOAM versions installed and switch between them as instructed here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...with_the_Shell

Thanks...
But, It dint work I used the code >>>sudo apt-get install paraviewopenfoam50<<< in terminal to install paraview now, when i type the command paraFoam -builtin I got the message as follows >>> created temporary 'simple.foam' /opt/openfoam231/bin/paraFoam: 265: /opt/openfoam231/bin/paraFoam: paraview: not found <<< (simple is the folder in which i opened terminal) // I am having an amd radeon graphics card and last time when i was using paraview 4.1, it will only pick the intel graphics card,which is inbuilt. then, when i am doing some operation in paraview, it closes with a message that there was some error with intel graphics. So, I uninstalled ubuntu and re installed it plus openfoam231 and then instead of paraview410 installed paraview50 hoping it will work.. but then I saw there are files in openfoam231 which calls paraview410 and no files for 50 Thanks again... |

Greetings ad2eb,
My apologies, I didn't think through all of the details when I wrote my previous post And sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. In order for ParaView 5.0 from OpenFOAM 4 to be picked up on OpenFOAM 2.3.1, you need to edit the file "/opt/openfoam231/etc/config/paraview.sh" and change the version number... you can do that simply by running the following commands: Code:
sudo sed -i -e 's/ParaView_VERSION=4.1.0/ParaView_VERSION=5.0.1/' -e 's/paraviewopenfoam410/paraviewopenfoam50/' /opt/openfoam231/etc/config/paraview.sh Code:

Thank you for the response..
as again, there is a slight problem... but, this time I am sure your command did work properly when I tried to open paraFoam an error message came.. >>> FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist Please build the reader module before continuing: cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV5Readers ./Allwclean ./Allwmake <<< So I understood the problem (somewhat ) and I executed the first command >> cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV5Readers but then the error message was >>> bash: cd: /opt/openfoam231/applications/utilities/postProcessing/graphics/PV5Readers: No such file or directory <<< So I went to the folder and checked. I could find PV4Readers folder. I guess it is like this --> Along with openfoam231 package, 'PV5Readers' is not automatically downloaded. So, If I need PV5Readers, I need to separately get it. But, I don't know how to do it. Thanks again. (I know you are a very busy person and I really appreciate that you replied. ) Edit: I checked in github and other places. could not find PV5Readers folder. I could find PV3,PV4 and simply PVReaders folders. I even downloaded the source pack of 4.0 from https://openfoam.org/download/4-0-source/ . but even there, PV5Readers folder is not present. did I make some mistake..?

Quick request: Please post the contents of the file "/opt/openfoam231/etc/config/paraview.sh", so that I can take a look at what it has right now in your installation.

Quick answer: Sorry, I had a complicated+busy week and weekend
The file looks like it is properly written and defined. Please run the following command, to confirm if the ParaView 5.0.1 from the OpenFOAM 4.1 Deb package is installed or not: Code:
ls -l /opt/paraviewopenfoam50/bin/paraview |

(Its okay that you are responding ) when I typed, this is the output --> -rwxr -xr-x 1 root 84653 Jun 25 2016 /opt/paraviewopenfoam50/bin/paraview <-- I don't understand that what it means by that anyways |

Quick answer: Sorry, only today have I finally managed to come by and look into this.
Please activate the OpenFOAM 2.3.1 environment, go into the case folder you want to use and then run: Code:
paraFoam -builtin Because if you only run: Code:
paraFoam Edit: I forgot to mention that my previous request was for seeing if ParaView 5 was really installed or not, which is why it gave a bit of cryptic information. The "-rwxr -xr-x 1 root" means that "root" has "rwx" access (read-write-execute), while all in group and others "r -xr-x" have read-execute permissions only, which is enough for you to run ParaView 5 as a normal user.
