Hi,

I try to run planeWall2D tutorial which is posted here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ge..._-_planeWall2D

But it does not show proper temperature profile as stated in the tutorial post:






But mine is this:

What is wrong with this tutorial? I use foam-extend-3.2 which does not contain this openFOAM tutorial but still ...

[ordinary]

It still seems broken. No temperature contour. paraFoam doesn't work.

Did your solver run at all? It doesn't look like it. So its not a paraview problem.

Hello ordinary,
In your paraview you are looking at time 0, if the problem has run, you need to forward the time to last (using the attached key on paraview).


hope this helps

Thats correct but will not help in this case as there are no further timesteps (see the zero behind the time counter).

Hello ordinary,


You are right, this tutorial does not work on some versions of OpenFOAM. For example to make it work on OpenFoam 4.1 you have to make changes in BCs as described in this post:
planeWall2D tutorial: error running chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam


You can try similar trick on your foam-extended but I dont guarantee it will work.


Also for post processing make sure you follow these steps:

2.3 Post-Processing

When the script Allrun finishes executing, you'll have the following 3 files:

planeWall2D{bottomAir}.OpenFOAM planeWall2D{topAir}.OpenFOAM planeWall2D{wall}.OpenFOAM

Start up ParaView from the command line and open those 3 files:

paraview

Thank you for your attention RobertHB.

Yes, I did via ./Allrun:

ordinary@toshiba:~/FOAM_RUN/planeWall2D$ openfoam50
ordinary@toshiba:~/FOAM_RUN/planeWall2D$ ./Allrun
Running blockMesh on /home/ordinary/FOAM_RUN/planeWall2D
Running topoSet on /home/ordinary/FOAM_RUN/planeWall2D
Running splitMeshRegions on /home/ordinary/FOAM_RUN/planeWall2D
Running chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam on /home/ordinary/FOAM_RUN/planeWall2D

creating files for paraview post-processing

Created 'planeWall2D.blockMesh'
Created 'planeWall2D.OpenFOAM'
Created 'planeWall2D{bottomAir}.OpenFOAM'
Created 'planeWall2D{topAir}.OpenFOAM'
Created 'planeWall2D{wall}.OpenFOAM'
ordinary@toshiba:~/FOAM_RUN/planeWall2D$ paraFoam

Thank you wouter.

I type paraFoam. And in ParaView, I enable 'T' volume fields in order to see it. Then I click that button (or play button).

Thank you sweet_satan. I run this case in OpenFOAM 5.0.
