[OpenFOAM] postprocessing 3dTube tutorial in fsiFoam - foamextend 4.0

sangeet · July 7, 2018, 13:05

Hello,

I ran the 3dtube tutorial case in fsiFoam, by running the Allrun script. But when I use paraFoam -nativeReader to see the results, the tube wall doesnot move. When i see the velocity in th fluid region, I can clearly see a ripple which should also move the tubewall. But I cant see it. I believe that I am missing something in postprocessing of the fsiFoam case structure.

Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?

I have been following the instructions given on OFwiki.

That is normal.

The movement is there the problem is the visualitation.

What you have to do if you want to see movement on the solid part is first use paraview and load just the fluid part. Then load the solid.

Once you have this use "wrapbyvector" in paraview applied to the solid.
