Hello foam users,

I have a working foam-extend-4.0 case which had proved itself on my laptop before I formatted it. The case basically consists of 2D snappyHexMesh + icoDyMIbFoam solver.

Now I can run those simulation without any hassle as I did before. ParaFoam works but can't show time steps. When I click PLAY button, ParaView crashes with code below:

emre@toshiba:~/foam/foam-extend-4.0/tutorials/immersedBoundary/movingCylinderInChannelIco$ paraFoam 
created temporary 'movingCylinderInChannelIco.OpenFOAM'
--> FOAM Warning :

I'm considering to rebuild AllMakeStage4. Is there something I can do to view all time steps without crashing?

Beside that I tested my foam-extend-4.0 configuration by trying to run tutorials. I can run simpleFoam, icoFoam etc. I realized that only icoDyMIbFOam and immersed boundary methods crash. It is weird.

Hello,

I have similar problem which I have already posted here: [Moderator note: moved the two posts to the same thread.]

ParaFoam opens with these warnings:

emre@toshiba:~/FOAM_RUN/2dPlateT055_300$ paraFoam 
created temporary '2dPlateT055_300.OpenFOAM'
--> FOAM Warning :

I thought it's a ParaView error. Thus, I tried to re-install it with these commands:

./AllClean.stage4
./AllMake.stage4

But it didn't solve the problem. Then I focused that part:

libdynamicMesh.so: undefined symbol: _ZTIN4Foam5token8compoundE

I checked source file but changing .OpenFoam to .foam seems had already been done in the code. Because I use foam-extend-4.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.

Is there any idea to solve this issue?


EDIT: I can run time steps of my simulation with latest ParaView 5.4.1. It can open the file with .OpenFOAM extension. However I need to create an .OpenFOAM file by typing old paraFoam (problematic).


Best regards,

Emre

Quick answer:

1. Run the command foamToVTK
2. Run the command paraview
3. From within ParaView, open the group file "VTK/movingCylinderInChannelIco_..vtk"
4. The group file "VTK/ibCylinder_..stl" has a different time scale, so it might be harder to see it when the other group is open

This is because the internal reader ".foam" is broken for this feature and I don't know the status of the ".OpenFOAM" reader that foam-extend 4.0 provides.
