Hi Everyone,

I am running a mixervessel tutorial with sliding mesh approach using NCC. Its a based on particleFoamSolver.
I need to provide the LocalPatchInteraction type in cloudProperties file, I provided the nonCouple1 and nonCouple2 as none type.

    patchInteractionModel localInteraction; //standardWallInteraction; LocalInteraction; MultiInteraction; NoInteraction; PatchInteractionModel; Rebound; RecycleInteraction

    localInteractionCoeffs
    {
        patches
        (
            outlet
            {
                type escape;
            }
            ports
            {
                type rebound;
                e    0.97;
                mu   0.09;
            }
            vessel
            {
                type rebound;
                e    0.97;
                mu   0.09;
            }
            stirrer
            {
                type rebound;
                e    0.97;
                mu   0.09;
            }
            shaft
            {
                type rebound;
                e    0.97;
                mu   0.09;
            }
            shshaftRotatingaft
            {
                type rebound;
                e    0.97;
                mu   0.09;
            }
            sparger
            {
                type rebound;
                e    0.97;
                mu   0.09;
            }
            inlet
            {
                type rebound;
                e    0.97;
                mu   0.09;
            }
            nonConformalCyclic_on_nonCouple1
            {
                type none;
            }
            nonConformalCyclic_on_nonCouple2
            {
                type none;
            }
            nonConformalError_on_nonCouple1
            {
                type none;
            }
            nonConformalError_on_nonCouple2
            {
                type none;
            }
            nonCouple1
            {
                type none;
            }
            nonCouple2
            {
                type none;
            }
        );
    }

But when running the case in Parallel the patches are getting divided into different processors and I am getting error stating slidingmeshPatches for each processor need to be assigned in localPatchInteraction in cloudProperties.

Please can anyone help me with this challenge?

You are sure all boundaries are specified for a serial case then?


You can try adding a wildcard .* patch entry at the start, this will ensure everything is at least defined

            .*
            {
                type none;
            }

Thank you for the reply. I will apply this changes and update about the result. Once again thank you.

Hi,

Actually this trick did not worked. I am getting following error "ill defined primitiveEntry starting at keyword 'patches' on line 135 and ending at line 182"

at line 182 I have .*{type none}.

All patches must be specified when employing local patch interaction. Please specify data for patches:

Due you have some idea regarding this?

[LuckyTran]

Use the wildcard *

[shaikasif808]

I tried that it gave an error "expected string".

Exact error is --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
[15] wrong token type - expected word or string, found on line 0 the punctuation token '*'

[LuckyTran]

So have you tried ".*" already or are strings new to you?


I have no clue what system you are using to know if your wildcard is .* or * and string quotes are ' or "

[shaikasif808]

Hi LuckyTran,

I tried patches(
'*'
{type none}
);

I got following error :

Constructing clouds
[0]
[0]
[0] --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
[0] invalid first character found : '

Then I tried this
"*"
{
type none;
}

I got following error:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:

[2] From function void Foam::regExp::set(const char*, bool) const

Hi LuckyTran,
you were right the correct implementations as you suggested.

".*"
{
type none;
}

Once Again thank you very much
