Hi Bruno,
Thanks for your reply. I run snappyHexMesh in OpenFOAM-2.1.0 on Tianhe-1A, a supercomputer. So the memory shouldn't be a problem.
OMG! I will re-download a OpenFOAM-2.1.0 and try again, hope that it will work. Thank you again!
Best wishes!

It would be useful to know the Linux distribution and architecture (uname -m) you are using, as well how much RAM is available to your Linux installation (in case you are running it inside a virtual machine).

The other possibility is that you need to upgrade to OpenFOAM 2.1.x. Several bugs have been fixed since 2.1.0 was released and I vaguely remember having problems with snappyHexMesh in parallel with one versions that wasn't from git...

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi, as I'm experiencing the same error (http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...ssorx-0-a.html) is there any way to set up a case from scratch in such a way that this error here is avoided without the need to run changeDict?

Thank you!

Hello OF experts and users,
please assist me in struggling the following problem:

during run of icoFoam i included my utility:
Code:
....
        runTime.write();
    #include "utility.H";

        Info<< "ExecutionTime = " << runTime.elapsedCpuTime() << " s"
            << "  ClockTime = " << runTime.elapsedClockTime() << " s"
            << nl << endl;
......
"utility. H" consists of one loop, that prints values of U in cell centres along Y direction in the center of the channel (dimensions: x=0..6,Y=-1..1,Z=0..3; Nx=120,Ny=64,Nz=120):

Code:
scalar x,y,z;

forAll(mesh.cellCentres(),ii)
{
    x=y=z=0;
    x=mesh.cellCentres()[ii].x();
    y=mesh.cellCentres()[ii].y();
    z=mesh.cellCentres()[ii].z();

      if(x<3.10&&x>3.03&&z<1.58&&z>1.55)
    {
     Info<<"ii="<<ii<<" y="<<y<<" u="<<U[ii]<<endl;
    }

}
in single run output is perfect: 64 values of U

But i expect the same result as single run...Why it is not the same?

DecomposePar Dict the following:

Code:
numberOfSubdomains 6;

method          simple;

simpleCoeffs
{
    n               ( 1 6 1 );
    delta           0.00001;
}

hierarchicalCoeffs
{
    n               ( 1 2 2 );
    delta           0.001;
    order           xyz;
}

manualCoeffs
{
    dataFile        "cellDecomposition";
}

scotchCoeffs
{
}
Also the result is sensitive for the number of proc. i am using...

Greetings Lev,

It's quite simple:
  • Info is for single process output on the master thread; or for each slave, when each slave is launched with it's own shell, which can be achieved by using foamJobDebug if I'm not mistaken.
    Run:
    Code:
    foamJobDebug -help
    for more information.
  • PInfo will gather all Info's and output on the master thread! (edit: apparently PInfo doesn't exist... I guess my memory isn't all that well...)
Best regards,
Bruno

Hello, Bruno
unfortunately command "PInfo" give a compilation error as "PInfo was not declared in this scope ".
But the problem is not only at the screen output, but also i do not know how to order the code to analyze whole mesh that is spread to many processors (as is working with single run). And i need the results to be collected and to be written in the log file.
Like this command in single run
Code:
OFstream k(runTime.path()/"k.dat");
....
k<<"velocity "<<U[ii]<<endl;
Where can i read about this topics?

Regards
Lev

Hi Lev,

Sorry about that. Apparently PInfo doesn't exist. But I vaguely remember reading about it... weird

OK, by the description of what you're trying to do, it looks like to me that the probe or sampling utilities and/or function objects would be more suitable for what you want to do.
And then there is also "swak4Foam": http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/swak4Foam

Other than this... try searching this forum for more answers... I know they're in here somewhere...

Best regards,
Bruno

I saw just now the solution and remembered about this thread.

Apparently my memory mangled the mnemonic incorrectly:
  • It's not: Info + Pout - cout => PInfo
  • It's: Info-Info + Parallel + cout => Pout
Kudos to mfmohdyasin:

Hi all,

I'm following up with the issue that decomposePar does not preserve some boundaries and later on the solver complains about missing boundary definitions.

Furthermore potentialFoam complains about the processor-boundaries.

My question is: Apart from the workarounds that have been constructed in the meanwhile to solve this: is there a out-of-box-solution for OpenFOAM 2.1.1 that I am using out of box on ubuntu???

my script looks like this (without reconstructing)

Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Source tutorial run functions
. $WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/tools/RunFunctions

cp -r 0.org 0 > /dev/null 2>&1

runApplication blockMesh
cp system/decomposeParDict.simple system/decomposeParDict
runApplication decomposePar
runParallel snappyHexMesh 2 -overwrite -parallel

find . -type f -iname "*level*" -exec rm {} \;

ls -d processor* | xargs -i cp -r 0.org/* ./{}/0/ $1

runParallel potentialFoam 2 -initialiseUBCs -noFunctionObjects -writep

runParallel `getApplication` 2

Thanks very much!!
Marco

Greetings Marco,

Well... there are 2... 2.5 tricks that I know of:
  1. The one used in the tutorial "incompressible/pisoFoam/les/motorBike/motorBike", which you seem to be basing your case on.
  2. The one used in the case examples available here: http://code.google.com/p/bluecfd-sin...untimes202_211 - those rely on reconstructing the mesh and then decomposing all of it once again.
  3. And the half-trick still relies on mesh reconstruction, but decomposes only the fields based on the existing decomposition - the following can be used to replace the tutorial "incompressible/pisoFoam/les/motorBike/motorBike/Allrun":
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    cd ${0%/*} || exit 1    # run from this directory
    
    # Source tutorial run functions
    . $WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/tools/RunFunctions
    
    # copy motorbike surface from resources folder
    cp $FOAM_TUTORIALS/resources/geometry/motorBike.obj.gz constant/triSurface/
    
    #make sure the write tolerance is upped for mesh reconstruction
    sed -i -e 's=writePrecision  6;=writePrecision  7;=' system/controlDict
    
    # Copy 0.org to 0
    cp -r 0.org 0
    
    runApplication blockMesh
    
    cp system/decomposeParDict.hierarchical system/decomposeParDict
    
    runApplication decomposePar
    mv log.decomposePar log.decomposePar.1
    
    cp system/decomposeParDict.ptscotch system/decomposeParDict
    
    runParallel snappyHexMesh 8 -overwrite -parallel
    
    find . -type f -iname "*level*" -exec rm {} \;
    
    #ls -d processor* | xargs -i cp -r 0.org/* ./{}/0/ $1
    
    runParallel renumberMesh 8 -overwrite
    
    #Need to reconstruct the mesh, in order to be able to re-decompose the fields
    runApplication reconstructParMesh -constant
    runApplication decomposePar -fields
    
    runParallel potentialFoam 8 -initialiseUBCs -noFunctionObjects
    
    runParallel `getApplication` 8
    
    # ----------------------------------------------------------------- end-of-file
Anything beyond this depends on how you defined your boundary condition patch names in the first place!

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi dear FOAMuser

I have 3 machin include 12 core. I used scotch method for 12 processor, its ok on 1 machine. but when I used 2 or 3 machine for more processor, it dosent work without any error or warning.

Quick request: Please provide more details, so that we can reproduce the same error. The details I need are as follows:
  1. Which installation instructions did you follow for installing OpenFOAM?
  2. Which version of OpenFOAM are you using?
  3. Can you reproduce the same problem with one of OpenFOAM's tutorials?
    • For example, the tutorial "incompressible/simpleFoam/motorBike"?
  4. Which are the exact commands you are using for launching the solver in parallel?

Hi dear Bruno
Thank you for your reply
actually i dont know how the OpenFOAM installed, This system with OpenFOAM has been gave me.
I use OpenFOAM-2.3.1.
I reproduce the problem with motor bike and have a same problem with scotch method.
when I using simple method ( for decompose) for cavity case, its work with 36 processor but didnt work with scotch method.
I try to run simple method for my 3D asymmetric diffuser but similar to scotch method it didnt work.
my command for run is:
mpirun -np 36 $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.1/foamExec pimpleFoam -parallel

Thanks
Marzieh

In addition I use Gambit mesh for the geometry.

Quick answer: Sorry Marzieh, I've been having long work weeks, along with other responsibilities and I haven't managed during weekends to answer as many questions as I wanted here on the forum .

Let me refer you to this blog post of mine, which I forgot the other day to mention about it: Notes about running OpenFOAM in parallel

In addition, I forgot to ask the following questions:
  1. What does the following command give you?
    Code:
    mpirun --version
  2. And what about this one?
    Code:
    uname -a

Quick answer: I've search through my memories and tried to deduce the problem... and something doesn't add up.
This could be a problem with Open-MPI 1.8.2 or it could be due to a problem with incompatible MPI versions on each one of the 3 machines... but it's hard to prove that the issue is only reproducible if you decompose the mesh with scotch and run with pimpleFoam.

I need the following details:
  1. What do the following commands give you?
    Code:
    mpirun -np 36 $(which foamExec) which mpirun
    mpirun -np 36 $(which foamExec) mpirun --version
    mpirun -np 36 $(which foamExec) which pimpleFoam
    mpirun -np 36 $(which foamExec) wmakePrintBuild
    mpirun -np 36 $(which foamExec) ldd $(which pimpleFoam)
    mpirun -np 36 uname -a
  2. What are the exact steps you take to prepare, mesh, decompose and run the case?
    • Because something seems to be missing or is being incorrectly used...

Hi,
I am using openFoam 3.0.1 , and I am trying to run my case using the following steps:

$ decomposePar
its running ok.
$ mpirun –np 6 renumberMesh –overwrite -parallel

gives me the following error:
Code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun was unable to launch the specified application as it could not find an executable:

Executable: –np
Node: basharhpc

while attempting to start process rank 0.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was using "mpirun -np" on the same machine with pimpleFoam with no problems but when I tried to use it with "renumberMesh" I get this error . This is the first time for me to use the "renumberMesh".

Try -n instead of -np:

mpirun -n 6 renumberMesh -overwrite -parallel

Thanks alot for the help.
I just used
Code:
mpirun -n 6 renumberMesh -overwrite -parallel
and it works for me.My last question is that when I will run the case in parallel which one is more appropriate to use the -np 6 or the -n 6 , with mpirun? since I used the -n 6 , in renumberMesh?
Reagrds,
