Liggghts Plugin for ParaFoam 5.0.1

Submitted by kalei on Mon, 07/23/2018 - 11:02

Hallo,

I recently updated my CFDEM system and also installed a new OpenFOAM-4.x version, including ParaFoam 5.0.1.

In the past I have been using Christian Richter's plugin libliggghts_reader.so. However, when I try to load this in ParaFoam 5.0.1 I get an error.

Does the plugin work with ParaFoam 5.0.1 respectively where could I download the updated version.

Sorry I did not build it for PV 5.0.1. You can use the kitware binaries (V. 5.4.1) or compile the reader from source or change to dump custom/vtk when you compiled LIGGGHTS with vtk enabled (make auto).

Thanks a lot! With ParaView_Reader_for_LIGGGHTS/pre_compiled/5.0.0/libliggghts_reader.so it seems to work.
