Hi, I have a problem. Maybe has somebody an answer. Ok I describe the problem: Under Linux, I read my case, which has non-conformal interfaces, I iterate, and I write data. If now I re-read my data, and iterate more, all my residuals explode (ie: jump in my residuals). I didn't change any parameters in my .cas file That means, I can't pursue my calculations. Any idea? Thanks mAx

Hi, I think I know where the problem is. If I stop the calculations, check for instance a force on a piston, then write data.... then reread data, re-check the piston's force... i don't get the same result (and the pressure distribution has been corrupted). Does Anyone have the same problem???? I am running under Linux x86 & Parallel Thank U mAx

Do you save only .dat file?

yes, just like autosave does. But I have no moving mesh, ie: my grid is still the same

Are you using the command

if PRINCIPAL_FACE_P(f,t) inside the force loop ?

No... I am in contact with support, but they never have seen that before...

if you want try it:

#if !RP_HOST

ID = IDvd1;

tv = Lookup_Thread( domain,ID );

begin_f_loop(face,tv)

if (PRINCIPAL_FACE_P(face,tv))

{

F_AREA(area,face,tv);

total_force += NV_MAG(area) * F_P(face,tv);

}

end_f_loop(face,tv)

#endif

node_to_host_double_1(total_force);

I forgot:

total_force = PRF_GRSUM1(total_force);

If you get the same kinds of error, I assume it is because of an error PR_GRSUM1(total_force), which is supposed to add the force computing from each node. So normally the force computed shouldn't change if you run your case under 2,4 or 8 CPU. In my case I don't have any UDF...
