[OpenFOAM.com] paraview for openfoam

dim14 · June 7, 2022, 10:08

Hello, i have installed openfoam and i'm trying to work on a tutorial. All is working perfectly, except the command paraFoam which can not launch paraview:
invalid $pv_PLUGIN_PATH and -plugin-path= not defined
I'm using unbutu and have installed openfoam2112 and paraview5.0 in the same repertory usr/lib/openfoam/
