[OpenFOAM] paraFoam does not show results of Cavity tutorial

Hello Bruno,

Thank you for your response, it helped a lot. I think the manner of which I am using icoFoam was that it produced a initial condition and a final condition. I may have had too large of a time step and so the flow went from not developed at all to fully developed in one time step.

Thank you for your help!

Hi, I've read the thread and I did not find a solution for my problem.
I generated the mesh and on the terminal it works, but if I try to visualize it on paraview it does not be shown.
I got this message on the terminal:

Invalid $PV_PLUGIN_PATH and -plugin-path= not defined
No supplementary ParaView/OpenFOAM reader modules
Using builtin reader: paraFoam -vtk

..
I tried to run paraFoam -vtk , but I got the same result
Anyone can help me ?
thks
