Hi All,

I have already run the coupling test example of the CFDEM. And I am wondering how to watch the result as animiation in the paraview. I notice for the cfdemPostproc, after running, the paraview is open automaticly. But for other case, I have no idea how to do it.

Any suggestions and helps are highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Kun

Hello Kun,
in order to display your results you can either type paraFoam (OpenFOAM reader for paraview) or you can open the program by typing paraview and loading $CASE/CFD/system/controlDict.foam. If the latter doesn't exist just copy the controlDict and add a ".foam" to the file name. This file is recognized by paraview and the data can be loaded.
Cheers,
Alice
