Take a look at the paraview setting.
Here is a page saying that to check the mesh inside a geometry (https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/FAQ/Postprocessing). The right thing to do is not the clip nor the slice. But
1. load the case unchecking polyhedral decomposition
2. filter : Extract Cells by Region

my bad, I have no idea why it did not work for OF 2.3.1 ... but it worked perfectly with OF 2.3.x. That's why I guess I made a mistake during the 2.3.1 compilation.
To summarize for those who need to install OpenFOAM without admin rights:
Bruno, thanks again for your kind help!
Best regards,

To summarize for those who need to install OpenFOAM without admin rights:
- Skip the root commands in the instructions.
- Whenever an error occurs, start with the log file, go into the make files and try to find out which package could have caused the issue. For me it was a buggy flex version.
- Compile the neccessary package on your own and load the excecutables into the environment (make sure you add the path on the beginning of $PATH).
- Retry the compilation process.
Bruno, thanks again for your kind help!
Best regards,
Nicolas
