Hey,

I would say that in that case the number of cells in each direction is the sum of cells of each block. I dont know other ways of figuring that out without working block by block.

Hey Ivana,

Do you create the mesh using blockMesh? Then you can check (and modify) the number of cells you have in each direction in your mesh in constant/polyMesh/blockMeshDict. Check this...

Try removing the list (p0 nonuniform List<vector>) that appears in each processor*/0/pointMotionU after the decomposition. In my case it works flawless now.

Hope it helps!

Hello again,

by replacing p0_ with p.localPoints the simulation starts. However it causes a velocity divergence in a corner of my domain, even when ran in one processor. If I undo the p0_...

Yes you are absolutely right. Removing p.localpoints from the operator was all I had to do. No more face area mismatches for now!

Thank you very much Steffen!

maybe mapFields is not able to interpolate between meshes of different sizes. I'll try to figure it out.

Yes it is. As long as you have the same patches declared. If you have different patches you have to include them.
