The main problem is:
how can I see the mesh I have just created using blockMesh command on paraview, without having all the case files (like fvSchemes, fvSolution, 0 folder files, etc..). The only thing I have is the blockMeshDict file as well as the points, faces, owners, etc. files that were generated with blockMesh. Having only those files, how can I visualize my mesh? Regards, Lisandro |

Hi,
One does not need the fvscheme and other filed. The file generated by blockMesh is good enough. The method I always follow is (I am using Windows version of OF): 1. create an empty file in <casename>.openFOAM, where <casename> without <> is the name of the case such as "Test". 2. Place it in the folder along with the 0/, constant/ and system/ directory. 3. Open the file <casename>.openFOAM in Paraview (select file type "all files" and them type "openFOAM". You may like to refer to the file http://www.cfdyna.com/Home/OpenFOAM_Tut.pdf Regards, Amod |

@Lisandro: perhaps I got your Problem. You have to type "paraFoam" in the case folder after copying just any fvSchemes and fvSolution file from any tutorial you want. regards Alex |

I just saw your message now. I have solved the problem and it was exactly this. I didn't have the fvS* files in my case directory...
Thanks anyway! Lisandro |
