Hi all,

I'm having a very frustrating problem related to reconstructing a case. A couple of details:

1) I am running a deconstructed case on a cluster and then transferring the final reconstructed time step to my own machine to view it.

2) The case runs well and when I go to view it in paraview, the surface also looks good. However, as you can see in the attached image, the actual reconstruction is terrible. I checked it before I ran it and everything looked ok, all of the residuals look good, Courant number is good, etc

The problem seems to occur only when reconstructing, and only sometimes. I have had this problem before but it was not consistent and would be fine the next time. I am using pyFoam to decompose with the following:

Code:
pyFoamDecompose . 12
After reconstructing, the decomposed processors were deleted so I only have the reconstructed data now, which looks like the images I'm attaching. I really want to figure out why this is happening to stop it in the future.

Does anyone have any ideas?? Really appreciate the help and thanks in advance
