paraFoam

[Gianluca Rocchi]

Dear Anton,
I agree with you I still have the opportunity to remove Debian openfoam
pkg. I can not agree with you with your statement about paraFoam being a
paraview fork, please see the description at cfddirect:
https://cfd.direct/openfoam/user-guide/paraview/
6.1.1 Overview of ParaView/paraFoam

paraFoam is a script that launches ParaView using the reader module
supplied with OpenFOAM. It is executed like any of the OpenFOAM utilities
either by the single command from within the case directory or with the -case
option with the case path as an argument, e.g. :....omissis
Using foamToVTK is more time consuming than paraFoam and has not all' the
potentiality offered by paraFoam readers.

Regards

Gianluca
