Hey everyone,

I am trying to create my own case file and it has VOF in it. I set the fields using setField. There was no error shown in the terminal when I ran the setFields as you can see below:

Reading setFieldsDict

Setting field default values
    Setting internal values of volScalarField alpha.water

Setting field region values
    Adding cells with centre within boxes 1((-5.194 0 -7.791) (15.58 7.791 0))
    Setting internal values of volScalarField alpha.water

End

but when I try to visualize the result using paraview, it is not working.
The option to see the setField is not coming in the place where " Solid color" is shown in the picture attached below.

Can someone help me with it? I have no clue why I am not getting it.

P.S. At first, I could not see the cell array either. so I googled and saw that I had to unselect the "Skip Zero Time". After I did that I could see the cell array options.

this the resultant alpha.water file after running setField.Does this have anything to do with why I cannot visualize the result?


Thank you in advance for the help.

Kind regards
