Hello,
I have a Ubuntu 22.04 computer. I installed OpenFOAM 2312 on it. OpenFOAM needs Paraview, thus I installed it (v. 5.10.0-RC1) via Synaptic (GUI for the APT package manager). OpenFOAM runs fine, but when I invoke paraFoam as usual I get a paraview SIGSEGV (segmentation fault) error. Having no options left, I downloaded Paraview v. 5.12 pre-compiled binaries from the official site, unzipped it into a folder under ~ and, to my surprise, that version did work. The problem is, paraFoam calls the broken Paraview in /usr/bin, not the functional binary I downloaded and unzipped. But, if instead of running paraFoam I simply execute the functional binary (by giving its full path), I get nowhere. I must before transform the simulation outputs to VTK with foamToVTK and run the binary to open the visualization files. This works but it is not efficient. I prefer the old way. paraFoam is a script that, in a nutshell, calls paraview. I wonder how I could change this script so that it would call the pre-compiled binary I mentioned right above. The second problem is: I'm not good at scripting and don't understand what paraFoam really does internally. TL; DR: I want to run a paraview binary installed on an alternative location with paraFoam. Would I have to modify paraFoam? How? Thanks a lot for any help. |
