Dear All,

Greetings !

I have installed OpenFoam210 and Paraview3120
While launching Paraview i got the following error message.

Can you guys please suggest.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
test@ubuntu:~$ paraFoam
WARN file does not exist:
./system/controlDict
./system/fvSchemes
./system/fvSolution
created temporary 'test.OpenFOAM'
fileName::stripInvalid() called for invalid fileName UbuntuOne
For debug level (= 2) > 1 this is considered fatal
Aborted
test@ubuntu:~$
------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you in Advance ,
Indrajit

Hi Indrajit,

It's simple: you should run paraFoam only from within a case folder. At the end of the installation instructions, did you notice the following commands?

blockMesh 
icoFoam 
paraFoam

In case you didn't read the beginning of that section, start reading from the section titled "Getting Started".

Best regards,
Bruno
