[OpenFOAM] Reading data in paraview

Vignesh2508 · January 12, 2017, 02:25

Hello Guys,

After I finished my simulation, I tried to visualize it using Paraview. But I got an error saying "Unexpected string" for k,omega and nut. I want to figure out why i am getting this error in paraview. Please point it out.

Thank you

Vicky

The OpenFOAM dictionary syntax is very flexible, but this makes it almost impossible for the native vtk reader to manage properly. You either need to ignore this message, avoid the 0/ directory or something else. One of something else will be addressed in the next paraview release. It should have the option for skipping the 0/ directory as well as improvements for handling 32/64 bit data. It will also support the new 'arch' hint described here: http://www.openfoam.com/version-v161...y-binary-files
