paraview
 

Hi
After running a tutorial case of openFoam(cavity),successfully, Im trying to activate paraview and I get an error message:

Cannot use ParaView reader module library (PVFoamReader)
The PV_PLUGIN_PATH environment value is not set

Continuing with Builtin reader: paraFoam -vtk

Created temporary 'cavity.foam'
/opt/OpenFoam/OpenFoam-v1906/bin/paraFoam: line 326: paraview: command not found

How can I solve this problem ?
e.g. The file paraFoam exist in the directory: /opt/OpenFoam/OpenFoam-v1906/bin

Thanks
Tuvia

Hi Tuvia, simply create an empty file "case.foam" in the simulation folder and open this file with standard ParaView by using the "Open File" command.
best,
Damian

Hi Damian
Thanks for your reply
Somehow I cant create a new file. The command "mkfile" does not work.I get the message "command not found". do you know something about it ?
Another question. I cant fine my working directory on my disk c. How can I get the path to it ?

You mentioned disk C, how are you running openFoam? Is it on Windows Subsystem for Linux?

For the paraFoam problem, use:

Hope this helps :)
