Patch not visible in Paraview (foam-extend-4.0)

sujay3101 · June 16, 2019, 10:05

I ran the cylBumpInterIbFoam tutorial in foam-extend-4.0.
Everything went well, except for the fact that I am unable to see the semi-spherical bump patch. May be a paraView issue, but I'm not sure.
The problem persists on another immersed boundary case where the patch with the floating body is not seen?

Anyone encountered this before or has suggestions of what could be going wrong?

Have a look at the time directory. Since the in patch is not a part of the mesh, for post-processing I have to write it into a separate Vitko file.

If you have ideas on how to make this more user-friendly, I’d love to hear about that.

Is that the same as a VTK file? Asking since I didnt get many hits for vitko.
So, I tried to export the results to vtk, but that doesn't work either.
Please let me know if I'm mistaken about the 'vitko' file.

Sorry - spell checker changing my words: vtk file:
