Hello!


I am working with the following tutorial:
OpenFOAM-4.1/tutorials/multiphase/interPhaseChangeDyMFoam/propeller


The case runs with 'Allrun', but I face a problem showing the results in paraFoam. When clicking the button 'Apply' in paraFoam, I receive the following error message:

ERROR: In /xxx/xxx/OpenFOAM/v410/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-4.1/ParaView-5.0.1/VTK/IO/Geometry/vtkOpenFOAMReader.cxx, line 4674

It also fails when loading a different time step.

The mentioned file ./constant/polyMesh/faces looks like binary code:
