Dear All,
I am currently trying to learn more precisely OpenFOAM12 after achieved very basic tutorial where everything was working very well. To go further, I am trying to do a conjugate heat transfer simulation (coolingSphere tutorial list exemple). I have performed the calculation, as it performed in a parallel process, I have reconstructed my data and now I think I have everything read to be opened in Paraview. Unfortunately, when I open Paraview loading coolingSphere.OpenFOAM, I do not have the possibility to plot the fluid quantities (velocity, pressure, temperature…). I just have access “Solid Color”, “vtkBlockColors”… So basically, no possibility to open data in Paraview.
I have checked the case folder and I have all the folders for each step time resolved and inside there are files containing velocity, pressure… data for the different domains (solid, fluid). Consequently, I am a bit stuck here as normally once the calculations were done I just had to open paraview from my case folder and the data were immediately ready to be plotted…
Sorry if my question is a bit silly, i am a very beginner with OpenFOAM and Paraview…
THANK YOU !
Pierre

Welcome to the ParaView community, @PierreLCV. While there are no doubt other OpenFOAM users here who might be able to help you, you might get more help at an OpenFOAM forum. General ParaView users/developers likely don’t know what OpenFOAM produces and what it would need to write to produce the quantities you are looking for.

Dear Cory,
Thank you very much for your reply ! Indeed, that’s could be a good idea to ask on an OpenFOAM dedicated forum :). I thought it was a classical issue of paraView or a silly question from my beginner side that’s easy for any paraview user to answer.
Thank you for your help and thank you for the welcome message !
Regards,
Pierre
