[OpenFOAM] ParaFOAM issue with cavity case

mschoenberg · August 11, 2008, 16:07

I've compiled ParaFOAM with icc with no problems, and have data in the cavity case from the icoFOAM solver. Nevertheless, when I invoke paraFoam -case cavity from the appropriate location:

ParaView loads, and tells me "A reader for cavity.OpenFOAM could not be found. Please choose one:".

I scroll to the bottom and select "OpenFOAM Files". It then fails out with this error message:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
what(): basic_string::_S_create
/tmp/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/bin/paraFoam: line 83: 11379 Aborted paraview --data=$caseFile

Any ideas?

Switching to Takuya Oshima's OF reader solved this.

Hi

You should first do the installation steps 7.1 and 7.2. For your case, seems step 7.2 is not yet completed.
