Issue with Small Portion of Mesh in Render View

ParaView Support
1

I am experiencing an issue while visualizing my OpenFOAM simulation in ParaView. When I load my case using paraFoam, the mesh appears only in a very small portion of the Render View, specifically in the bottom left corner of the screen.

I have tried:

  • Reset View in the toolbar
  • Zooming and rotating with the mouse
  • Adjusting camera settings manually
  • Using the Transform filter to scale the mesh
  • Verifying the mesh in OpenFOAM (checkMesh), which confirms correct dimensions

Despite these attempts, the issue persists. Could you please advise on how to properly center and scale the mesh in the Render View?

Please update your version of ParaView to the last release one, 5.13.2.

I updated it, but it still opens 5.10.2 if I use paraFoam command in WSL

Do not use paraFOAM in WSL as paraFOAM is not ParaView and WSL is not officially supported by ParaView anyway.

Instead use ParaView for Windows: https://www.paraview.org/download/?version=v5.13&filter=Windows
