Problem with parallel run of snappyHexMesh
 

Hi everyone,

my problem is the following: I have to run SHM on a given geometry and I wanted to execute it in a parallel run with mpirun.
After the meshing is successfully done , I use reconstructPar -latestTime but when I perform this stage I get to a rather long list of warnings concerning lacking directories and libraries , which eventually end up with a Fatal Error.
It is quite strange since when the very same meshing is performed without parallelization, then no error occurs.
I would be grateful if anyone can give me a hint on what is going on, and maybe help me sort it out.
Thanks

Here the copy of the error statement after meshing on two processors has been terminated:

Finished meshing without any errors
Finished meshing in = 321.52 s.
End

Hi,

You might want to try first with reconstructParMesh and then use reconstructPar.

Hope this helps.

It works now, thank you very much Antimony!
For the sake of clarity I just launched reconstructParMesh and then reconstructPar -latestTime.
But now I don't know what the two commands separately do, I thought to use reconstructPar-latestTime in order to reconstruct the meshes created by the two processors ( at the end of the latest time step, in my case correspondent to the layer addition). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi,

You are welcome!

As far as I understand it and have used it, reconstructParMesh puts the meshes together, but not the fields, which is taken care of by reconstructPar.

So after having run my analysis in parallel mode I should reconstruct also the fields of pressure and velocity of course using reconstructPar.
Thanks a lot again!!:):)

Hi,

You are welcome!

Actually, if you want you are going to analyze your results in Paraview, you don't need to reconstruct. You can simply choose the "Decomposed Case" in the Case Type and you are good to go.
