Hello,

is there a way I can open all the .foam files from my /processor* folders in one paraFoam case to look at the decomposition of my mesh?

Trying to link the files to the main folder and opening them from there didn't work…

for dir in processor*
do
touch ./$dir/$dir.foam
done

for dir in processor*
do
ln -s ./$dir/$dir.foam $dir.foam
done

paraFoam -builtin --data=./processor..foam

Thank you!

First you need a paraFoam built with python support:

Open paraview in case folder.
Open Python Shell (Tools).

reader = paraview.simple.OpenFOAMReader(FileName="processor1/processor1.foam")

... proceed with the other files in a similar way

reader = paraview.simple.OpenFOAMReader(FileName="processor2/processor2.foam")

Of course, using a python loop would speed up the process.
You can also create a python script file and load it into the python shell in paraview whenever you need.
