Hi,
I tried to installed paraview3.6.2 on OF1.6. It worked a little, but still have problem. OF1.6 has paraview3.6.1 included, but it doesn't work on my unbutu 8.1. Since I haven't worked out how to connect to internet with my dial-up under ubuntu, I have to download under window. I tried to install the qt4.3.5, but with no luck. So I decide to try paraview 3.6.2. 1. I downloaded paraview-3.6.2-linux32-x86.tar.gz and extracted it under the ThirdParty-1.6\paraview-3.6.2-linux32-x86 folder. 2. I edited the bashrc file under OpenFOAM-1.6\etc\apps\paraview3 * changed the ParaView-VERSION to 3.6.2 * changed ParaView_INST-DIR to the paraview-3.6.2-linux32-x86 folder * changed the ParaView_DIR=ParaView_INST-DIR 3. After reboot (or maybe just execute the bashrc), I tried the cavity demo project. When run paraFoam, paraview started, but popup a "Open data with" window. I choose the "OpenFoam files", paraview aborted. It shows some error: Read float past end of buffer terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error' what(): basic_string::_S_create. It seems I need a FoamReader. I haven't succeded in compliling PV3FoamReader. I'll keep try. Cean |

Greetings Cean,
Might I suggest trying the other foam reader, the "Parallelized Native OpenFOAM Reader for ParaView", available here. Best regards, Bruno Santos |

Hi Bruno,
I tried that Reader, but have erroe during ccmake. It need the paraview.cmake file. The paraview3.6.2 file I downloaded does not include the sources. Anyway, I tryied to use foamToVTK and finally I can see mesh and result in paraview. For the cavity project, before running paraFoam, I run foamToVTK to convert foam data into VTK format. So for a clean Ubuntu installation (8.1 or 9.04), install the OF1.6 and extract paraview 3.6.2 anywhere. Run foamToVTK before run paraview. Thanks Cean |
