[OpenFOAM] Paraview graphics window whited out

ozzythewise · February 24, 2011, 10:29

Hello all,

I can use paraview fine but when I go to save state, and then re-open that state file, the graphics window is whited out and I cannot view anything. When I try and rotate the camera I can see graphics, but when I let go of the mouse it becomes whited out again. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks
Jeff

Greetings Jeff,

The issue you are getting is very similar to the one described here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-rotating.html

The other possibility is that the version of ParaView you are using has a bug that only happens in certain scenarios. Check the solutions in the thread above and if those don't work, try using another version of ParaView.

Best regards,
Bruno

For all interested: The solution was that my graphics settings were messed up on my computer. If anyone has this issue try lowering your graphics resolution, that's what worked for me.
