[Other] Openfoam for windows 16.02 [CFD support] -problem with paraview

ditmeyer · January 23, 2016, 08:12

hi all,
I have a problem with the new version of openfoam for windows (version 16.02) released by CFD support.

The problem occurs when I try to launch paraview with the command "paraview" or with the "paraFoam" command an error occurs :

Code:

 "ERROR: In C:\msys\1.0\opt\ParaView-v5.0.0-RC1-source\ParaViewCore\ClientServerCore\Rendering\vtkPVSynchronizedRenderWindows.cxx, line 408 vtkPVSynchronizedRenderWindows (0x8b36760): Invalid process type. Segmentation fault

this is the error in paraview:

I tried to find something on internet but it didn't find anything. I also tried to install again paraview but the problem stays. I never had this problem with the last version of Openfoam windows by CFD support (version 15.06).

The installation went well, except with parallel MPI, that already was installed in my computer (maybe the problem is here, but I don't think so).
I'm using windows 10, 64 bits.

Does someone have had the same problem when installing this new version ?

Thank you in advance for your help

I have exactly the same problem with Win 64 bit machine.
Anybody have a solution?

I installed openFOAM first time today. I was trying my first sample example and this problem occurred.

It seems that this happens only when launching ParaView from the Cygwin command shell (using the command paraview or paraFoam). In my case the problem was caused by too long PATH variable in Cygwin.

Try to modify the last line of the file /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-3.0.x/bin/paraview to contain

Code:

PATH="" $path/paraview "$@"

instead of the original

Code:

exec $path/paraview "$@"

This worked for me.
