[OpenFOAM] Can't visualize moving mesh

Destouches · April 20, 2023, 06:27

Hi foamers,

I extensively use salome/paraview and I generaly have no issue to visualize moving meshes.

Using here:
- foam-extend-5.0
- solver elasticSolidFoam
- case slidingFrictionBall

The case runs just fine as it is provided.
While foamToVTK gives coherent values, nothing moves in paraVis !

Do you guys know if there is a trick to extract this king of moving mesh ?

Cheers

After investigation, it appears that the solver doesn't print the polymesh file in the results.
As always, the truth is out there.

I'll try to modify the code, any clue ?

Enlightment has been given.
WarpByVector filter is what gives movement in paraview.

Thanks again to this website moderators, you rock !
