Hi all,

Does anyone had problem using using #calc in parallel with openFOAM 2.2.2? I use #calc to evaluate algebraic expressions in a file which is read by the controlDict and blockMeshDict. Everything seems to work just fine when I run with 1 processor but in parallel the simulation stop while evaluating some #calc expressions like that :

Code:
ptX0   -4.00 ;
ptX1    4.00 ;
ptY0    0.00 ;
ptY1    4.00 ;
ptZ0    0.00 ;
ptZ1    4.00 ;
Nx      144  ;
Ny      72  ;
Nz      72  ;
Lx      #calc"$ptX1 - $ptX0";
Ly      #calc"$ptY1 - $ptY0";
Lz      #calc"$ptZ1 - $ptZ0";
dx      #calc"$Lx/$Nx";
dy      #calc"$Ly/$Ny";
dz      #calc"$Lz/$Nz";
But if I write this :
Code:
Lx      8;
Ly      4;
Lz      4;
dx      0.0555555555555555;
dy      0.0555555555555555;
dz      0.0555555555555555;
Everything is just fine on a serial or parallel run. Note that this :
Code:
Lx      #calc"8";
Ly      #calc"4";
Lz      #calc"4";
dx      0.0555555555555555;
dy      0.0555555555555555;
dz      0.0555555555555555;
still doesn't work on a parallel run. I have no error message at all time.

Anyone has notice such a behavior using #calc with OF 2.2.2?

Thank you,
Pascal

bump,

I am experiencing the same issue. The #calc directives work flawless when run on a single processor, but as soon, as they are called in a parallel run, the solver stucks without any activity or any messages.

Is this a bug or misusage?

Have a nice day,

Jona

Greetings to all!

Can any of you provide a simple test case, based on one of OpenFOAM's tutorials? It would make it faster and easier for someone else to diagnose this issue.

Best regards,
Bruno

Of course. The example is the cavity from the tutorials but decomposed for two processors. So in order to run the case you need to

decomposePar
mpirun -np 2 icoFoam -parallel

When executing icoFoam, it stucks after the lines

Using #calcEntry at line 30 in file ...
Using #codeStream with ...

Thanks a lot for your help,

jona

PS: The #calc entry is in the system/controlDict

Hi jona,

I've finally managed to give a look into this. I've reproduced the issue and it seems to be a bug that has already been fixed in OpenFOAM 2.3.x, which was present in OpenFOAM 2.3.0. Mmm... I guess this was an issue back in OpenFOAM 2.2.2 as well...

Now, if I could only figure out which commit fixed this issue... Found it, it's fixed in commit 8199b97e4a7ab5daa684abe27bdac2610cfb52a3: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...dac2610cfb52a3

Now, to apply this fix, it will depend on how you installed OpenFOAM.

Best regards,
Bruno
