Hi,


It will be appreciated if someone can help me with this interFoam error when running sloshingTank3D6DoF case in parallel. Serial run was no problem. here are the error messages:

Please change your parallel method. In this case, the Hierarchical is used. I have got the same problem, then change to scotch method. It is working well
