Nice to meet you. I am using OpenFOAM version 2412 and trying to visualize the mesh in ParaView. However, even though I haven’t made any changes to the OpenFOAM case files, sometimes the mesh appears in ParaView and sometimes it doesn’t.
There are no errors when I run OpenFOAM commands such as `blockMesh` or `icoFoam`.
The PC I am using is a Panasonic Let’s Note CF-FV running Windows 11. The version of ParaView I am using is 5.11.2. If there is any solution to this issue, I would appreciate your advice. Thank you.

Please share data that ParaView fails to open.

I can’t test your data because I don’t have access to my laptop right now, but I would first try to use the latest paraview. Possible there was a bug that was fixed.

I installed ParaView on Ubuntu by running `sudo apt update` and `sudo apt install paraview`. Does this method not install the latest version of ParaView? I would appreciate your guidance.

[https://www.paraview.org/download/](https://www.paraview.org/download/) Go here and download the latest. But uninstall what you have now to be on the safe side.

Using the latest version, the mesh was successfully visualized on the first try. If I encounter any further issues, I will report them. Thank you very much.
