Hi all,

I have compiled a custom solver with IcoFoam and IcoUncoupledKinematicParcelFoam. I carried out a simulation to simulate transient one way coupling between particles and fluid. However, my positions file at a particular time step is in a weird format as shown below.

Has anybody encountered the problem?. Also oddly enough paraview post processes the file properly showing the particles.So i think it is a representation problem. Does anybody know how to rectify the problem?

Thanks and Regards,
Shantanu Vachhani

Hey there,

I suppose the format is in binary mode. To see it properly you might change it to ascii.
