How find the launcher of Paraview?
Hi OpenFOAM users!
I am new on OpenFOAM, Paraview and also on CFD Online. I have just install on my Ubuntu system, the softwares OpenFOAM 2.3.0. and also ThirdParty-2.3.0 where we find ParaView-4.1.0. Question 1: Where can I find the launcher of ParaView? Shall I each use the terminal to run an example? After the installation of OpenFOAM, I try to run an example from /user-2.3.0/run/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity. I use on the Terminal these words: cd $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity blockMesh icoFoam paraFoam Then, the window of ParaView viewer appears. I cannot click on the apply button. And on the directory cavity, it appears new sub-directories (0.1 , 0.2 , 0.3 , 0.4 and 0.5). Question 2: Do the application apply the example automatically when I entered the words on the Terminal? I think that because the different sub-directories 0.1 0.2 ... etc corresponds respectively to the state of the example at t=0.1s , t=0.2s ... etc Regards. Jeff. |

How find the launcher of Paraview?
Hi wyldckat,
Firstly, thank you for your help. About my first question, to use Ubuntu is really different than Windows and I realize it because we need to use command line. Regarding my second question, on the version of OpenFOAM I use (2-3-0), apply button runs automatically. "cavity.OpenFOAM" entry in the "Pipeline Browser" is selected and time folders are recognized too. I will use your links in order to improve my understanding of this software. Just a last question: I want use this software to make finite elements analysis on different models that I design on Catia, a design software. Could I import easily a model from the software or do I need to reproduce myself the model on the foamfile named blockMeshDict? Regards, Jeff. |
