[OpenFOAM] post-process results without paraFoam

Svensen · February 14, 2015, 15:16

Do someone know how to post process results of OpenFOAM simulation without usage of paraFOAM.

It seems that I have to create in case folder the file with .OpenFOAM extention and open it with paraview, but when I do this I've got a lot of errors.

It seems to me that paraview uses different OpenFOAM readers than paraFoam.
Maybe someone know how to install readers from paraFoam to paraview ??

Try the .foam extension. i.e.:

Code:

cd /path/to/your/case
touch post.foam
paraview post.foam

Select reconstructed case for serial, or decomposed case for parallel runs.
