Can't see results in Paraview, OpenFOAM
 

Hi,

I did a simulation in OpenFOAM 6 and can solve it. However, when I open paraview to see the results, I can only see the velocity U. I tried to see the kinematic pressure p, but I can't see any result there. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

Best regards,

Hi Johnny,

This might be probably because of the wrong header for the pressure file. Can you share the first few lines of pressure file. Execute the following command in your simulation directory and let us know the output

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I am sending the header of the pressure file, which I obtained by writing the command you suggested at the terminal.

Hi John, are you sure you executed the command in the correct working directory/with correct OF version ? Because your output shows version 8 but right in the beginning you mentioned you are using V6

In any case, I dont think this line (either Version : 8 or Version : 6) should be the main cause for your problem (bcz the actual info that matters start from FoamFile). If possible can you share your case file, maybe then its easier to narrow down the reason.

Hi,

Yeah, I am using version 8 now. I was using version 6 a few weeks ago.

Which file do you mean by case file?
