| Summary | 0001887: For future reference: ParaView 4.4.0 is unable to open multi-solid STL files | ||||
| Description | This is one of those issues that someone will end up reporting here, when it has nothing to do with OpenFOAM itself, but I'm pre-emptively opening this bug report so that this recorded as a known issue and possibly in the future to add here what's the workaround. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Run the following commands: mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN run gunzip < $FOAM_TUTORIALS/resources/geometry/flange.stl.gz > flange.stl paraview flange.stl Once the Apply button is clicked on, the error message will be something like this: ERROR: In /home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-dev/ParaView-4.4.0/VTK/IO/Geometry/vtkSTLReader.cxx, line 461 vtkSTLReader (0x45ca8a0): STLReader: error while reading file /home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ofuser-dev/run/flange.stl at line 3: unable to read point. ERROR: In /home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-dev/ParaView-4.4.0/VTK/Common/ExecutionModel/vtkExecutive.cxx, line 784 vtkPVCompositeDataPipeline (0x45da2b0): Algorithm vtkFileSeriesReader(0x45cbba0) returned failure for request: vtkInformation (0x435fe00) Debug: Off Modified Time: 171256 Reference Count: 1 Registered Events: (none) Request: REQUEST_DATA FORWARD_DIRECTION: 0 FROM_OUTPUT_PORT: 0 ALGORITHM_AFTER_FORWARD: 1 | ||||
| Additional Information | I was originally going to report that the fix was to use the latest file from VTK, but the commit in VTK from late August doesn't solve the problem either :( | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Sorry, I confused the two error messages. The one above is for when ParaView is using the local decimal separator, which is why it broke right when reading the 3rd line. I'll post the original error message in a few minutes in another comment. The fix for this issue is in this commit: https://github.com/Kitware/VTK/commit/40937e934308e5009e80769dc0c451ee4f157749 This issue can be easily fixed by running the following command from within the ThirdParty folder: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kitware/VTK/40937e934308e5009e80769dc0c451ee4f157749/IO/Geometry/vtkSTLReader.cxx -O ParaView-4.4.0/VTK/IO/Geometry/vtkSTLReader.cxx |

Here's the actual error message that occurs with the original code in ParaView 4.4.0: ERROR: In /home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-dev/ParaView-4.4.0/VTK/IO/Geometry/vtkSTLReader.cxx, line 461 vtkSTLReader (0x36b5680): STLReader: error while reading file /home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ofuser-dev/run/flange.stl at line 33873: unable to read reading point. ERROR: In /home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-dev/ParaView-4.4.0/VTK/Common/ExecutionModel/vtkExecutive.cxx, line 784 vtkPVCompositeDataPipeline (0x36ad8e0): Algorithm vtkFileSeriesReader(0x36b4150) returned failure for request: vtkInformation (0x16501e0) Debug: Off Modified Time: 171268 Reference Count: 1 Registered Events: (none) Request: REQUEST_DATA FROM_OUTPUT_PORT: 0 ALGORITHM_AFTER_FORWARD: 1 FORWARD_DIRECTION: 0 It essentially breaks in first point for the second solid "patch2". |

Thanks for the info. I have applied the patch to ParaView-4.4.0 for the resease OpenFOAM-3.0.0 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/ThirdParty-3.0.0.tgz |
