Particle Path/Tracer in Paraview

ParaView Support
1

Hi,

I have used the icoUncoupledKinematicParcelFoam-solver from OpenFOAM to simulate the transport of a particle cloud.
Now I want to display the paths of individual praticles in Paraview. I tried the Particle Path and Particle Tracer filters, but they throw errors that I don’t understand and couldn’t fix. When searching for the error message, I couldn’t find what I was looking for. And I couldn’t finde any explanations, how to use these filters either.

Can anyone help me? How do I have to use these filters?
Or is there another way to show the path of the particles?

I am grateful for any kind of help!

Ps: I use Paraview 5.6.0

Hi @safal3

First step would be sharing your data and error messages.

Or is there another way to show the path of the particles?

If I understand well, you generated a temporal vector field with OpenFOAM, is that correct ?

I use Paraview 5.6.0

Update to ParaView 5.11.0: https://www.paraview.org/download/

Best,
