| Summary | 0002738: FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: paraFoam gives different outputs for two installed versions OpenFoam 2.4.0 and OpenFoam 5.0 | ||||
| Description | I successfully installed OpenFoam 2.4.0-MFN version from (https://github.com/MicroNanoFlows/OpenFOAM-2.4.0-MNF/tree/devel-craig) Successfully - because there are no errors anymore in the log.make and log.makePV files for openfoam and paraview. I also have the latest build of openfoam (5.0) already installed on my system. If I try to start ParaView by typing in paraFoam in appropriate environment, I get different results for the two versions. -------------------------------------------------- --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: cannot find file file: /home/ywb17176/system/controlDict at line 0. From function regIOobject::readStream() in file db/regIOobject/regIOobjectRead.C at line 73. FOAM exiting ------------------------------------------- Is this a bug !? I have also posted this issue on CFD-Online forum: https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-installation/194804-installation-problem-paraview-4-1-go-openfoam-2-4-0-mnf.html#post669120 | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | of240 #alias for openfoam-2.4.0-mnf paraFoam #to start ParaView just to test if it's working fine WARN file does not exist: ./system/controlDict ./system/fvSchemes ./system/fvSolution created temporary 'ywb17176.OpenFOAM' --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: cannot find file file: /home/ywb17176/system/controlDict at line 0. From function regIOobject::readStream() in file db/regIOobject/regIOobjectRead.C at line 73. FOAM exiting compare the output in a new window against following: of500 #alias for openfoam 5.0 paraFoam #to start ParaView just to test if it's working fine WARN file does not exist: ./system/controlDict ./system/fvSchemes ./system/fvSolution Cannot locate OpenFOAM-format case files Would you like to open ParaView anyway <Y|n> | ||||
| Additional Information | Since, there are no errors in the logs I'm assuming the installation went fine. I have attached the paraview installation log. Also, are those warnings normal ? If not, how to correct this. | ||||

The paraFoam script is different between OpenFOAM 5.0 and OpenFOAM 2.4.0. That is not a bug. |
|
|
OK. So, ParaView is treated differently by the two versions. So how do I resolve these warnings which are common for both versions: WARN file does not exist: ./system/controlDict ./system/fvSchemes ./system/fvSolution |
|
|
To avoid the warnings, run ParaFoam from a case directory. This is basic knowledge, I suggest reading the User Guide. In version 5.0, when a user runs the paraFoam script when they are not in an OpenFOAM case directory, it offers the opportunity to open ParaView as normal [y/n]. A minor change in the way something works is not an issue. This is closed. |

I'm sorry I troubled you with a minor issue. In general someone who is very new to Linux as well as OpenFoam it is impractical to know if it is minor or serious issue. I was simply trying to resolve my queries. Nonetheless, thanks for your quick resolution! Good day. |
