If you want to show results about particles,
after the XXXFoam command,
just run 'foamToVTK'
then a folder named 'VTK' will be created
you can use paraview to load geometry VTK and lagrangian VTK, and check the results.

Can you write the error message?

Greetings to all!

@Grimoli: Have you tried running the following command?
Code:
foamToVTK -help
If you want to export to VTK the "topAir" region, you can run:
Code:
foamToVTK -region topAir
Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno,

I did as you suggested but I get this error:

Code:

Hi Samuele,

OpenFOAM hates spaces in folder names. In this case, the folder name "My world" is invalid for OpenFOAM to use.

Best regards,
Bruno
