Hi,
the same problem exists in the current version (1.6) of openfoam with paraview (3.6.1) I follow the first tutorial step-by-step and in chapter 2.1.2 paraview doesn't show me the mesh. If I turn "Show Patch Names" on, it seems that all Patchs are at the same point. Can someone help me? Thanks Hendrik |

Hi,
i'm running an ubuntu in german. The language causes the problem but I also don't know the real problem with the language support. Hendrik |

You can also try exporting first VTK and open the resulting files on paraView

Yes, this worked for me too, but I had the problem that I couldn't select and view patches...

I've got the same problem of visualisation anything of the "cavity" example. After going through the paraForm User Book everything works fine, but there is nothing to see of mesh grids or so on. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 (64-bit) and the installed version of openfoam 1.6. Some more curious: 1) The "cavity.OpenFoam"-file in the Pipeline Browser is empty?! 2) When I try to get Help (Desktop Buttons) following output message appears: File does not exist: /home/dm2/henry/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6/paraview-3.6.1/platforms/linux64Gcc/pqClient.adp Profile '/home/dm2/henry/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6/paraview-3.6.1/platforms/linux64Gcc/pqClient.adp' does not exist! That path is definetly not on my computer! /home/dm2/henry/.. is on someone's other computer! I would be very happy to get an useful help. Best regards Aurel |

Hi Aurel,
the caviy.OpenFoam-file needs no content, everytime it's empty. You have installed the 64bit-Version of the thirdparty Tools? And included the load of the OpenFoam/etc/bashrc in your .bashrc? If its another Problem, i don't know. Hendrik |

yes, I have installed the 64-bit version. In the /thirdparty/tools is only one file: makeParaViewFunctionsWhat do you mean with: "And included the load of the OpenFoam/etc/bashrc in your .bashrc?" The .bashrc is in "OpenFoam/etc/" directory. Could be the different language a problem? Is it necessary to modify the .bashrc file? For more help I would be very happy. Regards Aurel |

I fixed the problem as follows: 1) Deactivation of the desktop effect! 2) Language problem: ubuntu in German and paraView in English By modifying the script $/HOME/OpenFoam/OpenFoam-1.6/bin/paraFoam with export LC_ALL=C paraView it is now working fine. Regards Aurel |

Hi Piotr,
modify your script: $/HOME/OpenFoam/OpenFoam-1.6/bin/paraFoam by adding at the top: export LC_ALL=C This should work all time long. Best regars Marc Aurel |

Hi to everyone.
I'm here again. I modified the language of kubuntu, modified the script and deactivated the desktop effects. But the problem is not solved. I try to run the cavity tutorial. After the command "paraFoam" I do not see the mesh, and if I click the accept button I can see only the edge of the volume. Thanks for any help! Fabio ------- I got it. Just read the user guide to learn how to see the mesh... Thanks. Last edited by sturmtruppen; June 18, 2010 at 08:01. |

Hi!
I had the same problem (using opensuse), the mesh was not shown in parafoam, wireframe. Installing the graphical card solves the problem. Succes! |
