Hey guys,

Paraview does not work since I've updated to OpenFOAM 2.4.0. I'm running OpenFOAM on Ubuntu 15.04. The problem is when I've executed ./Allrun in any tutorial case (e.g. laplacianFoam/flange) and then started paraview by typing "paraview" within the terminal paraview opens and is completely empty. See the screenshot attached.

I'm new to openFOAM and I've tried to find a solution via google, without any success. Can anyone help??

Many Thanks in andvance!

Cheers
Fabian

Hi,

If you start paraview with paraview, empty pipeline is normal behavior, since you did not pass --data flag. So either you start paraview with paraFoam (it is a wrapper that creates foam file for you and then starts paraview with all necessary flags), or you do this sequence of commands in case folder:

$ touch case.foam
$ paraview --data=case.foam

Thank you very much! Everything works fine now.
