Hi. I am using openFoam and in many of the plotting instructions it says “Open can.exo” What is can.exo? There is nothing the documentation or on cfdonline.

Another (and much easier) place to find can.exo is within ParaView. (I am assuming you are visualizing with ParaView, as you are on a ParaView support page. ) It is one of the examples. File/ Open/ Examples (upper left corner) (assuming you are not remote server).

Thanks very much Walter.

I think that the source of my problem is that I am executing ParaView through openFoam. So to start ParaView, I enter paraFoam. I guess that paraFoam accesses all the openFoam data files and does not use a can.exo file. So I think the instructions are applicable to an openFoam user except the instructions involving the can.exo file.
