Hi all,

I am trying to run a problem in parallel using "foamJob" in my laptop which has 2 core. To start with i tried to do a parallelTest, when i execute the command

"foamJob - p -s parallelTest" it shows the following message. So whats the problem.

Parallel processing using OPENMPI with 2 processors
Executing: mpirun -np 2 /home/idea/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/bin/foamExec parallelTest -parallel | tee log

It seems that the error message is not linked to foamJob but simply your case setup.
I would try to run fully manually the computation and see what happens

[mecbe2002]

I am just exploring parallel running in OpenFOAM. So can you explain in detail what to do?

[truong_nm]

Just change directory to your case folder.
Then:
mpirun -np 2 solverFoam -parallel | tee log

where solverFoam is the solver you use, the same as in controlDict file.
Hope it'll help

Hi,

Below is the error message, i get. Can you tell what is it?

idea@IDeA:~/OpenFOAM/idea-1.6/run/Practise/forwardStep_1$ mpirun -np 2 rhoSonicFoam | tee log
Missing: program name
Program rhoSonicFoam either does not exist, is not
executable, or is an erroneous argument to mpirun.
