How to decompose my case?
 

Hello everyone
I am simulating the flow in a pipe with an obstacle. I am trying to decompose my case to 4 and 8 parts but I fail to do that.
My decomposeParDict file is like this:

/*-------------------------------*- C++ -*---------------------------------*\

FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class dictionary;
note "mesh decomposition control dictionary";
location "system";
object decomposeParDict;
}

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

numberOfSubdomains 4;


method metis;

simpleCoeffs
{
n (1 1 4);
delta 0.001;
}

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

metisCoeffs
{
processorWeights ( 1 1 1 1 );
}


manualCoeffs
{
dataFile "";
}


distributed no;

roots ( );

But it won't work.
Could anyone tell me if there is something wrong.
Thanks

Post the error message u get, that will help to understand ur problem

Thanks for your comment.This is what I get:

I succeeded to break my case into 8 parts. :) But now the problem is that when I want to start the computations using channelFoam I get the following error:
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
[0] keyword Ubar is undefined in dictionary "/home/OpenFOAM/nak/run/melika/case5/processor0/constant/transportProperties"

However I can run my case with pisoFoam. :confused:

Dear libra
use decomposePar -force to reproduce your test caes.

Thanks everyone. My problem is solved. :)
