Hi Igor,

I went thro your message and the earlier thread. I think you can still use paraview to visualise your results. I do the same way. When you convert your output to VTK format it will crate 6 files for the cavity case. If you want to open the last file you can give the command
paraview --data=cavity_last.vtk where last will be a number

tou can download the version of paraview from paraview.org. and untar the files. Once the files are untarred it will create a directory and within that there will be a "bin" directory. Add this path into your .bashrc file and source it. With this one you can open paraview

Hope this helps
Try running other cases like SolidDisplacement etc...

Good morning yapalparvi,

Thank you very much. I'll try that shortly and will comment the results on the other thread, in order to not mix up threads. Sure your advice us very helpfull: all advices are helpful here!!!

After selecting 'OpenFOAM files' reader, whole paraview dies. There is a patch to fix this, but that route means compiling paraview itself, which resulted in issues with my Jaunty package setup (synaptic won't install necessary dependencies).

I'd really prefer some binary PV3FoamReader if there is one to try with.

(For the record: this is a very fresh jaunty install with all updates applied)

Hi Pa-Ma,

How did you overcome this problem? I am experiencing it at the moment. I have attempted to compile the PV3FoamReader several times, yet I still get the reader selection dialog, and then a crash as soon as I select OpenFoam files.

Is there something that I need to do to tell Paraview to use the reader?

Hi,

When I tried to run buildParaView3.3-cvs after rmoving platforms directory, i got the following messages.

[ 52%] [ 52%] Building CXX object Utilities/VTKClientServer/Graphics/CMakeFiles/vtkGraphicsCS.dir/vtkWindowedSincPolyDataFilterClientServer.o

Linking CXX shared library ../../../bin/libvtkGraphicsCS.so
[ 52%] Built target vtkGraphicsCS
make: *** [all] Error 2

please let me know, how can i avoid this and complete the installation?

Hello World.

Haven't thought I was beyond the point of asking questions about the installations, but Linux is always surprising ...

When running the ./Allwmake for the PV3FoamReader in version 1.6 I'm running into trouble:

[  8%] Generating qrc_PV3FoamReader.cxx
make[2]: QT_RCC_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND: Kommando nicht gefunden
make[2]: *** [qrc_PV3FoamReader.cxx] Fehler 127
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/PV3FoamReader.dir/all] Fehler 2
make: *** [all] Fehler 2

What may be wrong? Any ideas?

Here are my Qt and GCC versions, just for completeness:

sega@deepblue:~$ qmake --version
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.5.0 in /usr/lib
sega@deepblue:~$ gcc --version
gcc (OpenFOAM) 4.3.3

Have a nice day!

Was there a solution found for this error? I'm hitting the same (exactly the same) problem.

I honestly can't remember ...

Did it have something to do with changing between the system and OpenFOAM compilers in the settings.sh file?

[sega]

I doubt that. It muste have been somthing with Qt and all this stuff ...

It might have been the start of it. I know I was having similar problems with Qt before I fixed it. Once I did however I ran into a few issues with vtkConfig.h--which I believe is a result of not having PV3reader module compiled correctly which lead me to the error in question.

[sega]

I really can't remember, sorry.
Which reminds me that I have to post solutions to every problem I faced and overcame...

haha, it's okay--it's nothing super important as I'm doing this for "fun". Maybe some one will come up with a solution to this. I saw someone else has posted in my thread concerning this problem, so we'll see what they say.

Greetings Anon,

I don't know if you've already managed to fix that issue you've had with Qt4/PV3FoamReader, but two possible fixes come to mind:

1. install qt4-dev, which should have Qt's rcc (resource building application);
2. rebuild Paraview that comes with OpenFOAM's ThirdParty, since there might be PV3FoamReader cmake definitions that are inherited from the Paraview build!

Best regards,
Bruno

That very well may be my problem. When I attempt to type in

sudo apt-get install qt4-dev

I receive

E: Couldn't find package qt4-dev

[gwierink]

I receive Code:
E: Couldn't find package qt4-dev

You could grab qt4-dev for karmic here ...

Uhm, although Linux is wicked sweet with it's shell capabilities (one could bring the whole world to a halt, with just a Linux shell ), most Linux distros (distributions) today have Graphical User Interfaces that aid those who can't get a grip on command line commands... me included :P
So whenever you can't install a package via command line, go to the GUI Synaptic, or Software Installation/Management in the menus or something like that, so you can get a proper search functionality That's what I usually do Also because sometimes the package names will change from version to version, and not always will have the same name!

So, as Gijs indicated, the proper package name is qt4-dev-tools. So:

sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools

should do the trick

Best regards,
Bruno

Ahhh, then I've already installed that.

And does it work now? Or does the error you stated for the foam reader still occur?

Nope, the error still occurs.

[wyldckat]

OK, if it's still the QT_RCC_EXECUTABLE issue... try this:

which rcc

If it shows something like:

/usr/bin/rcc

then it is installed.

Also, have you tried:

cd $FOAM_APP/utilities/postProcessing/graphics/PV3FoamReader
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

If you've tried all of the above to no success, then lets go to the other possibility: Paraview needs to be (re)built. Do you know if you've already built Paraview that comes with OpenFOAM's ThirdParty? Or are you using the one that comes with the linuxGcc package?
Either way, try:

cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
./makeParaView

I'm not sure if it cleans after itself In other words, you might want to remove the folders "paraview-3.6.1/platforms/*" first, but do it only if it doesn't build at first.

If it builds successfully, then try building once again the PV3FoamReader
