[OpenFOAM] Native ParaView Reader Bugs

7islands · March 3, 2009, 04:26

Can you make sure the plugins are loaded? (Check if libPOpenFOAMPanel.so and libPOpenFOAMReaderSMPlugin.so are listed in Tools->Manage Plugin/Extensions...->Local Plugins)

Takuya

Takuya,

if I run paraview from my OpenFOAM shell they are listed. However if I run pvFoam I get the error listed above.

Regards.

bastil · March 3, 2009, 05:44

Takuya,

after rebuilding Paraview I had to rebuild the parallel reader and re-copy the libs. Those were stored in my Paraview Plugin-Directory. Now pvFoam works, but I still get the same errors...'('

Regards

This is the same error that I've been struggling to solve on OSX. However, when the parallel plugins are loaded (libPOpenFOAMPanel.dylib and libPopenFOAMReaderSMPlugin.dylib), I get a segmentation fault. If I remove these, I get the same error as BastiL,

pvFoam

vtkProcessModule (0x645dfb0): Object type: vtkOpenFOAMReader, could not find requested method: "SetTimeStep"
or the method was called with incorrect arguments.

Argument 2 = int32_value {0}

BastiL, Can you run the interFoam/damBreakFine case with writeFormat changed to binary and try loading it? As my parallel cases in handy are all in ascii, I used it as a reproducing and test case.

If that works, this time I indeed need one of your problematic files. If not, it's likely that you messed up something and in fact are using the old version of the reader.

7islands · March 3, 2009, 06:28

Eric, did you try fixupBundle.cmake?

T

bastil · March 3, 2009, 07:35

Eric,

this is because not loaded libs. For me it works afer I loaded them. Now I am struggling while reading decomposed cases.

Takuya,

I only have one damBreak case in /tutorials/interfoam, where is the case?

Regards BastiL

7islands · March 4, 2009, 06:35

Ah, you have to run ./Allrun once under tutorials/interFoam. Then the damBreakFine case will appear.

T

bastil · March 4, 2009, 08:16

Ok thanks for you great help Takuya,

I can laod the tutorial after running in parallel but I get the errors when switchin from time=0 to time=0.4, Is this the same for you? If it runs for you at time=0.4 I have to check my installation.

Regards

7islands · March 4, 2009, 09:51

BastiL,
I believe I ran through/stepped/switched/whatever from t = 0 to 0.4 many times and made sure the reader did not issue an error, but I'll re-check tomorrow when I'm back in my office.

T

bastil · March 4, 2009, 10:19

Thanks once more Takuya,

I will check my installation. What might have gone wrong while updating?

Regards

7islands · March 4, 2009, 10:37

Too many possible causes. Putting the issue asaide a day or two and trying cooling down may be an idea :-)

T

7islands · March 4, 2009, 23:42

BastiL, I re-checked and did not get an error switching from t=0 to 0.4. What is strange is that you get the errors only when t = 0.4, whereas you should get them in every timestep if your installation is really old. Honestly, I am running out of suggestions.

T

bastil · March 5, 2009, 02:43

Thanks Takuya once more,

I will do a re-installation of the reader and check once more. I will get bakc to you.

Regards.

bastil · March 6, 2009, 07:08

Takuya,

after re-installation of the svn-Version I still get the same error for my data.
The same still happens for damBreakfine. I can open this but I get errors switching to time 0.4.
Does it matter I use OF1.5.x? I will try with 1.5

Regards

bastil · March 6, 2009, 07:19

Ok, so same for 1.5. I get the error as soon as I switch output to "binary", ASCII works fine. May it be a Problem related to "endianess"? I use linux so should be little endian for me.

Regards.

7islands · March 6, 2009, 08:02

The reader simply treats endianness as is. Do you happen to be using single precision binary, by any chance? That's the only possibility that occurs to me.
