Hello,

I'm currently trying to run refineMesh in parallel after completing the castellated mesh step in snappyHexMesh.
My goal is to refine the mesh in the x direction only.

My refineMeshDict_xRefine looks like this:

/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\
  =========                 |
  \\      /  F ield         | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox
   \\    /   O peration     | Website:  https://openfoam.org
    \\  /    A nd           | Version:  8
     \\/     M anipulation  |
\*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    object      refineMeshDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

set xRefine;

globalCoeffs
{
    tan1 (1 0 0);
    tan2 (0 1 0);
}

(
    tan1
);

useHexTopology  true;

geometricCut    false;

writeMesh       false;

// ************************************************************************* //

When running

runParallel refineMesh -overwrite -noFunctionObjects -dict system/refineMeshDict_xRefine

it results in errors like this one for every processor:

[1] 
[1] 
[1] --> FOAM FATAL ERROR:

Changing the switches for useHexTopology and geometricCut results in the same errors.

Does anyone know how to prevent this error?
