Does someone know how to convert *.pos files generated by OpenFVM into file formats that can be read by Paraview ? Is it possible to produce directly other file formats than *.pos when using OpenFVM ?
Thanks in advance.

Gmsh is very good for both generating the mesh and viewing the results. Look at the examples included with OpenFVM for tips on how to perform post-processing. You can build your own scripts to control the post-processing views.
x-flow.

GMSH is good, but sometimes just PO file is too big, it takes my old PC ages to load in and the hard disk spin madly.
I wrote a sub which can generate VTK files for each time step (if needed). It finally working now. A simple but very good reference for VTK file format is here: http://ganymed.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/~tom/VisuSimple/
It's an old VTK format, not the new xml based. It's very easy to animate with all the time step file in VisIt 2.1. I have tried the DAM example.
If anyone interested, drop me a line at shirazbj at hotmail.com, I can email it to you.

No, at the moment OpenFVM uses only Gmsh for pre- and post- processing.
Thanks a lot for the information. I guess I need to learn how to use gmsh for post-processing purposes.
Thanks
