Goodmorning,
I have problems with the command "paraFoam" and also "paraFoam -block", when I run them I obtain this: FATAL ERROR: The official reader module for OpenFOAM data does not exist on your system. This means that the version of ParaView you are using was not compiled with OpenFOAM, or distributed with a packaged version of OpenFOAM. For information on packaged versions of OpenFOAM/ParaView and compilation of OpenFOAM/ParaView, see https://openfoam.org/download Alternatively, you might be able to view your OpenFOAM data with the reader module provided with ParaView by running: paraFoam -builtin Instead, "paraFoam -builtin" works, but why the others don't work? |

Hello Francesca,
it seems paraFoam is not installed on your machine. You can check simply the installation path on Linux as follows: Code:
$ which paraFoam $ which paraview There are two independently developed reader for OpenFOAM and ParaView! 1.) ParaView built-in OpenFOAM reader => vtkOpenFOAMReader 2.) OpenFOAM has with an alternative reader => PV4FoamReader How have you installed OpenFOAM and what is your system configuration? best, Damian

Hello Damian!
Thank you for your reply! Checking the paths with which paraFoam wich paraview as you suggested, I get correctly the paths: /home/francesca/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-7/bin/paraFoam and /home/francesca/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-7/platforms/linux64Gcc/ParaView-5.6.0/bin/paraview For the installation of OpenFoam and Paraview I followed the instructions from this websites: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...7/Ubuntu/18.04 I have Debian9 and I installed openfoam 7: there were no installation instructions of openfoam7 for debian, but the compilation ended up well, I think. With "system configuration" do you mean these info, francesca@debian:~$ lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 4 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3 Thread(s) per core: 2 Core(s) per socket: 2 Socket(s): 1 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 61 Model name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5500U CPU @ 2.40GHz Stepping: 4 CPU MHz: 2400.000 CPU max MHz: 3000,0000 CPU min MHz: 500,0000 BogoMIPS: 4792.95 Virtualization: VT-x L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 256K L3 cache: 4096K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-3 Flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx pdpe1gb rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 sdbg fma cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic movbe popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx f16c rdrand lahf_lm abm 3dnowprefetch epb invpcid_single kaiser tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid fsgsbase tsc_adjust bmi1 avx2 smep bmi2 erms invpcid rdseed adx smap intel_pt xsaveopt dtherm ida arat pln pts right?

ok, it seems both versions are at least available on your machine!
What are you trying to do? To open some OpenFOAM simulations results? It should work also with the paraview version and created empty case.foam file in your simulation folder. Check also this thread here in the forum: paraFoam command no longer working after upgrading to Ubuntu 13.04 Have you added the Code:
source /opt/openfoam7/etc/bashrc

Hey,
I do get the same first error, but using the "which paraview" demand I get nothing... checking your link: /home/francesca/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-7/platforms/linux64Gcc/ParaView-5.6.0/bin/paraview I noticed, that I don't have a ParaView-file under linux64Gcc... I do have one under ThirdParty-7, but this one doesn't include a bin-file... so I guess that is the problem, but I've no clue how to fix it. Can anybody help? (: |

Hi,
I am novice, but maybe the problem - or better solution - is as simple as it was in my case: Originally, I encountered the same issue (of8 installed, no reply on <which paraview>). I suspect the installation procedure of of7 or of8 did not install paraviewopenfoam56 appropriately, because of5 and of6 with paraviewopenfoam54 were already intalled. For the installation I followed the instructions on https://openfoam.org/download/8-ubuntu/. To make of8 work pretty well with of56 anyway, I simply executed <apt-get -y install paraviewopenfoam56> afterwards. Maybe this is a solution. Best Nico |
