Hello,

I am having trouble using the remeshing option when using the define_grid_motion Macro in parallel, smoothing is working fine.
It is also working fine in serial.

I have attached a screenshot after it crashes. Does anyone have any suggestions, thank you for taking the time. Happy to provide further infromation if needed.

DEFINE_GRID_MOTION(foil, domain, dt, time, dtime)
{
#if !RP_HOST
	Thread *tf = DT_THREAD(dt);
	face_t f;
	Node *v;
	int n;

	SET_DEFORMING_THREAD_FLAG(THREAD_T0(tf));
	begin_f_loop(f, tf)
	{
		f_node_loop(f, tf, n)
		{
			v = F_NODE(f, tf, n);						
			if (NODE_POS_NEED_UPDATE(v))
			{
				NODE_POS_UPDATED(v);

                           //Update NODE_Y(v) = y(x,t)
                          
                         }
                  }
        }
	end_f_loop(f, tf);
	
 #endif
}

looks like you don't need to do anything to run this code in parallel
try to remove:
#if !RP_HOST
#endif

If doesn't help you may try this:

DEFINE_GRID_MOTION(foil, domain, dt, time, dtime)
{
	Thread *tf = DT_THREAD(dt);
	face_t f;
	Node *v;
	int n;

	SET_DEFORMING_THREAD_FLAG(THREAD_T0(tf));
	begin_f_loop(f, tf)
	{
if PRINCIPAL_FACE_P(f,tf)
{
		f_node_loop(f, tf, n)
		{
			v = F_NODE(f, tf, n);						
			if (NODE_POS_NEED_UPDATE(v))
			{
				NODE_POS_UPDATED(v);
                         }
                  }
}
        }
	end_f_loop(f, tf);
}

Thank you for the fast reply, AlexanderZ!

I removed the parallel lines of code and it still runs but still crashes with the same error.

I also added the line of code as suggestion but no improvement.

Attached is another image showing the crashed mesh.

The simulated 'swimmer' is moving through the domain based on Newton second law. Could the issue be the global movement, hence, movement between different partitions and is there a way fluent can re partition during the simulation?

Many thanks again!
