OF15 paraFoam Update GUI not functional

aunola · July 27, 2008, 10:55

Hello,

I installed OF-1.5 on Fedora 9, successfully rebuild paraFoam and reader according to instructions in the README and then ran the icoFoam tutorial:

blockMesh
icoFoam
paraFoam

paraview launches without a problem. I then attempt to read the time directories by selecting in the Properties panel, Update GUI and then Apply. Nothing happens, except I briefly see the name of the PV3 foam reader flash in the lower right bar of the parview window. The time directories never appear.

Any hints?

Some information:

qmake --version
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.3.5 in /usr/lib

uname -rs
Linux 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686

Okay, it seems

http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/doc/paraFoam.html

describes things a bit differently than the cavity tutorial in the UG. I'll give it a try later today.
