Submitted by techblast333 on Mon, 10/17/2011 - 16:08

hi everyone,
I am new user of cfdem. Can anyone tell me how to open paraview through terminal for cfdem result analysis? for openfoam the command is ' paraFoam' but i dont know about cfdem.

hi!
in order to be able to see both the results from the dem calculation and the cfd calculation you should first generate vtk-files for both cases (with pizza for liggghts and foamToVTK for the cfd-files), then open paraview (by typing "paraview" to a console) and open both vtks.
Cheers,
Alice
