Hello all,

I am facing a problem with Paraview when I open Openfoam results. I am simuting a 3D jet. I have tested the configuration and it works well until meshes lower than 50 million cells. The results are promising, for that reason I need to refine more the mesh.


The mesh is very simple: fixed mesh with no refinement. (if D is the diameter of the jet, the domain is 10D x 4D x 4D )

For example, for a 80M cells simulation, OpenFoam runs properly. I have checked all the generated files (block mesh, check mesh, and so on) and interFoam runs wells:

PIMPLE: iteration 1

But, when I am trying to visualise the results on Paraview, I cannot see the results. Paraview crashes with a segmentation error.

Have you ever faced with a similar problem?

thanks
