Failure to load an OpenFOAM Controldict.

David_Vazquez · February 26, 2020, 5:10am

Good day,

Paraview is crashing immediately without any messages when trying to open a Controldict file of an OpenFOAM case. It is only happening with this specific case and I do not know why since it does not display an error message after crashing. I tried downgrading to an older version (4.1) of paraview to see if this would help, however it did not.

Attached is a .rar file of the case with the simulation already being done.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

To open an OpenFOAM file in ParaView, one needs to create a foo.foam file in the main directory and open this file.

To create the file, just use touch or create the file using any text editor.
