Hello

I was wondering how I can view meshes I have created when using openFoam through a SSH server to my school's High Performance Computers. I am on windows and usually use the touch case.foam command to use paraview when not using SSH. Any help would be appreciated.

Hope this could help you.

touch case.foam

This creates an empty file named case.foam. Normally this doesn't do anything else. So it looks like you have a custom built configuration that automatically launches ParaView when you do touch case.foam.

Normally, you would need to create a dummy file ending in .foam. In ParaView, you would tell ParaView to open this dummy file simply because it always asks for a file. For example in Fluent that would be a .cas file and in Star-CCM this would be a .sim file. OF cases follow a different structure involving folders and you cannot tell ParaView to open a directory, hence the need to create a fake file to trick ParaView.

If you have openfoam setup, you can also try paraFoam (which is a wrapper to simply create the empty .foam file, lauch ParaView, and automatically points it to the .foam file).
