code saturne

I just found a tmp_saturne directory in an unexpected location. The listing file here makes a lot more sense, it actually contains something. I searched for the word 'error' and it only came up in a sentence along the lines of 'there were no errors at this stage'. I have attached a copy. I tried to open some ensight files in this directory but I still could not find get them to open in paraview.

This is the error that comes up with paraview:

I noticed that in the step tutorial the file that was selected for post processing in Salome did not have the med extension. However, I could not find that file. I will check again to see if the file name is different or I just missed it (which is probable).

I think paraview will better suit the first FLUENT tutorial anyways. Unfortunately, I am away for a few days and dont have my laptop. Im kicking myself for not bringing it now...

Thanks for the assistance and the great package. I recommend it to fellow students all the time.

I have opened the results with paraview but I can only view one velocity component (u - x-direction). For this problem set up as I have it there is no change in velocity in the x-direction. One solution that I can see would be to reorientate the model but I am thinking there has to be a better way to do this. Do I need to specify with Code Saturne which velocity components I am interested in or can this be done in Paraview? Either way I have not found anything yet.

Thanks,

I had noticed there was a file in Code Saturne that allowed the output to be controlled by type. However, all velocity components were already selected. I unchecked the u and w velocity components and the v component was then the only output. I went back and selected them all and only the u component was in the output. I will try other combinations and see what happens. However, for my purposes I only need the one.
