[OpenFOAM] Paraview not working in openfoam

Milind Kshirsagar · May 9, 2019, 00:51

Hi everybody,

Newbie to OpenFoam.
Installed OpenFoam using docker on Windows 7.
Was trying first tutorial, when an error appears like:
¨line 142: praview: command not found ¨.
Though the paraview is opening and working fine independently.
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi!

I'm not 100% sure but i think in the docker version you don't have paraview. Just simply install a paraview under windows.

Just create a .foam file in the directory and you can open that with paraview. You can create this file with the following command:

touch case.foam
