Because this is what you normally do in a packaged distribution OpenFOAM+Paraview, where the PV4Foam reader module is integrated and set up to run the included Paraview version. My issue is how to “update” the PV4Foam reader module to run in general another Paraview version which does not come with OpenFOAM. This is what I meant with “complete the process of installation”: integration of a new Paraview version into an already existing OpenFOAM.
There are many instructions on the web, but often not precise and unique, therefore I can’t manage to do it so far.
Yes, to simplify my life, I can just run ParaView from my system directly and access OpenFOAM results, as you suggested.
