paraview not importing initial fields

qutadah.r · July 3, 2021, 03:36

hi everyone, i am importing my meshed case into paraview manually with all initial fields set at t=0, the problem is the mesh is imported but the initial fields are not, what seems to be the problem? it is doing that for all cases... it will only show the fields in paraview when i run the solver...

please advise.

Note: I am importing manually because I seem to have a problem with my X server and there isnt really a way I have tried to fix it and it still doesnt work, so any other suggestion than running paraview from the command line would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Qutadah,

When loading your case in ParaView, make sure to uncheck the "Skip Zero Time" option in order to load the initial fields. (see the attached screenshot)

Cheers,
Yann
