Hi Henry,
I've downloaded and compiled paraview-1.6.3 and that went OK. However when I start paraview I get the following error >paraview ErrorMessage # Error or warning: ERROR: In /deptpc/scratch/jbbrand1/packages/paraview-1.6.3/Utilities/VTKClientServer/vtkClientServerInterpreter.cxx, line 882 vtkClientServerInterpreter (0x114ac8): Cannot load module "PVFoamReader" from "/home/jbbrand1/foam/foam2.3/lib/solarisGcc34OptLAM/libPVFoamReader.so". ERROR: In /deptpc/scratch/jbbrand1/packages/paraview-1.6.3/GUI/Client/vtkPVXMLPackageParser.cxx, line 661 vtkPVXMLPackageParser (0x7aef18): Error loading Library component PVFoamReader ErrorMessage end Despite the error message, paraview appears to work OK on its own. I have recompiled the libPVFoamReader.so library, so I don't know why I'm getting this error. To be honest with you, I'm not really sure I'm using this in the way is intended, so if I'm missing something I'd appreciate any pointers you could give me. Thanks Jason |
Hi Jason,
It is possible t
Hi Jason,
It is possible that this problem is due to changes in the module load mechanism between 1.6.2 and 1.6.3 (they are changing the xml stuff very frequently). But it might also be that the xml files weren't rebuilt when you built the reader module so for starters try this: cd foam2.3/applications/utilities/postProcessing/graphics/PVFoamReader rm -rf PVFoamReader/solarisGcc34OptLAM wclean vtkFoam Allwmake and see if that helps. If not I will have to build ParaView 1.6.3 here on our linux machine to see if the module loading stuff has changed again Henry |

Hi Henry,
Got caught up with other stuff, but have tried what you suggested above, and am having the same problem as before. Specifically, if I enter >paraview I get the error message as before, but paraview continues to work. However, if use the script >paraFoam -root- -case- I get the above message followed by a Segmentation Fault. I'm quite happy using OpenDx for the time being, so there is no rush to get this working on my account. Thanks, Jason |

Which version of paraview do you have running? Does the FOAM reader work OK? Henry |

Hi Henry,
I'm running paraview-1.6.3. The FOAM reader you refer to is the PVFoamReader.so library? If so, no, as I get the message that "Cannot load module PVFoamReader" when I try and start paraview. Jason |
Hi Jason,

Hi Jason,
We had this problem before as well and it turned out the $FOAM_LIBBIN/libPVFoamReader.so did not link in liblam.so.0. Unfortunately Paraview's error message is not very helpful (should be fixed though in latest paraview) Have a look at my linux ldd output and see if you have the foam related libraries at least. linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libvtkClientServer.so => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/linux/paraview-1.6.2/lib/libvtkClientServer.so (0x40012000) libvtkGraphicsCS.so => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/linux/paraview-1.6.2/lib/libvtkGraphicsCS.so (0x4005b000) libfoam.so => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/foam2.3/lib/linuxGcc34OptLAM/libfoam.so (0x40143000) libvtkFoam.so => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/foam2.3/lib/linuxGcc34OptLAM/libvtkFoam.so (0x40934000) libvtkGraphics.so => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/linux/paraview-1.6.2/lib/vtk/libvtkGraphics.so (0x409b2000) libvtkFilteringCS.so => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/linux/paraview-1.6.2/lib/libvtkFilteringCS.so (0x40bd5000) libvtkFiltering.so => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/linux/paraview-1.6.2/lib/vtk/libvtkFiltering.so (0x40c13000) libvtkCommonCS.so => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/linux/paraview-1.6.2/lib/libvtkCommonCS.so (0x40c95000) libvtkCommon.so => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/linux/paraview-1.6.2/lib/vtk/libvtkCommon.so (0x40d9f000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x4105e000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x410b2000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x410bb000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x410d3000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x411cf000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x411de000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x411ee000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x411f2000) libstdc++.so.6 => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/linux/gcc-3.4.2/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x41214000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/linux/gcc-3.4.2/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x412e6000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x412ef000) libfoamUser.so => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/foam2.3/lib/linuxGcc34OptLAM/libfoamUser.so (0x41404000) libz.so => /usr/lib/libz.so (0x41407000) libmpi.so.0 => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/foam2.3/src/lam-7.0.6/platforms/linuxGcc34OptLAM/lib/libmpi.so.0 (0x41418000) liblam.so.0 => /home/pinky2/mattijs/foam/foam2.3/src/lam-7.0.6/platforms/linuxGcc34OptLAM/lib/liblam.so.0 (0x41477000) libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x414bc000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) |

Hi Mattijs,
I appear to be missing a couple of foam libraries, specifically liblam.so.0 libmpi.so.0 If I go to $LAM_ARCH_PATH/lib there are no shared versions of these libraries, only static versions. So I guess I will have to build these shared libraries and then make the PVFoamReader library linking these in? Jason |

Hi,
I've compiled the shared versions of the lam-mpi libraries and then compiled the libvtkFoam library, linking in these shared lam-mpi libraries. This appears to have fixed the problem I was getting when trying to use Paraview for the Solaris installation. Jason |

Hi,
just 'discovered' a neat trick of Paraview: if you type in a number in a field and type ctrl-enter instead of just enter and it will automatically 'accept' the new data so you don't have to press the Accept button. Mattijs |

I must say I quite like Paraview, and the integration with OpenFOAM. Have mysteriously missed paraview earlier. Thank's for the introduction!

In addition to Mattijs trick with ctrl-enter, you can also rigth-click on the accept-button, and choose Auto-accept. This way all changes will occur straight away, like dxFoams Update on changes-function. Rasmus |

Hi,
I want to visualize lagrangian particles in paraview. So I searched the forum and found Mattijs explanation. However, after converting the fields using foamToVTK, I can see the labels and properties of the particles in paraview, but I would also like to be able to see them represented as spheres scaled with their diameters. Anyone how can help me with this? /Rasmus |

paraFoam under Mandrake 10.0
Hi Guys! I have a problem and I ask if somebody can help me. I tried to run paraFoam such as the following command line: [wladimyr@geitt4 testcases]% paraFoam icoFoam cavity_gmsh and the paraview opens the first screen whitout problem, waiting to press accept key to read the data. Then, when I press accept key it crashes and no addition message is printed in any place (I think so :-\ ), only that core file was generated and stored in the case directory. I did use convertion of foam data to paraview using foamToVTK utility and after I can read tha data using paraview without problem. What I must to do in order to use paraFoam directly? If I'm right, some capabilities of paraview I can use only if I run it from paraFoam, is it correct? It is the cavity tutorial case where the mesh was generated by gmsh (www.geuz.org) and converted by gmshToFoam (nice converter! once more, congratulations!) If someone want it I can send. I suggest that discussion board may offer a repository of test cases and tutorias offered by users. Tanks in advace for all (and for any!) |

Try rebuilding PVFoamReader (since your paraview already works ok)
Which paraview are you using? It should be the one that comes with OpenFOAM. Make sure the $ParaView_DIR environment variable is set correctly (set in .OpenFOAM-1.0.2/apps/paraview/cshrc) and go to $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PVFoamReader/ and go ./Allwmake. This should rebuild the paraFoam reader module. |

It could be that some entry is missing in the case files. How do the files of your cavity_gmsh case differ from those in the cavity example case?

Hi Mattijs and Chris

Hi Mattijs and Chris
I'm using the paraview version which comes with OpenFoam distribution (v1.8.0). I also tried with newer version of paraview and the samething happes. I tried either with my cavity_gmsh case as cavity original case and other one without success. As I said before, I can use paraview with translated data given by foamToVTK utility. The setup (cshrc files) are correctly set and now I will try Allwmake command. My cavity_gmsh case is simply a study case to lear how can I use gmsh mesh generator with openfoam. In terms of geometry and conditions it is equal to cavity tutorial case. Anyway, tank you for your helps! Regards, Wladimyr |

Hi Guys
paraFoam continues biting me! Or should I say that I continue to fight against paraFoam? Anyway, these are the output of some commands. I believe that some of them I hope can be used to be used as patch file to correct some mistakes in script and config files. Or my installation is completely wrong! Can somebody help me? After many blue eyes (see diff comands output), the following lines from Allmake seems very strange: . . . ParaView is required.
