Hi Former


I have data from a simulation which was done with HPC ( High Performance Computer, basically a super computer). I would like to post-process them by using Para View in a virtual machine. When I run para View, the terminal give me this error.

I/O    : uncollated


--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
Expected a ')' while reading binaryBlock, found on line 20 an error

file: /home/daniele/OpenFOAM/daniele-6/run/plunging/plungingFine/constant/polyMesh/faces at line 20.

    From function Foam::Istream& Foam::Istream::readEnd(const char*)
    in file db/IOstreams/IOstreams/Istream.C at line 109.

FOAM exiting

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Someone suggested me that it can be the different architecture between HPC and my vistual machine. However, I am pretty sure that I've installed OpenFoam with 64 bit that is it the same of HPC.

I fixed the problem.
Basically, there is a setting in Para View which is called "-builtin". By using it to launch Para View, I have the oportunity to select my Label_Size (between 32 and 64 bit) before apply the results. In the terminal, it should be typed

parafoam -builtin

Best Regards
