Guys,

I have an stl file in the trisurface directory and used snappy in parallel to mesh the geometry. The meshing happens flawlessly but surprisingly, when i do the decomposePar (before meshing) command to generate the files for all the processors, the boundary conditions folder ( 0) which is transfered into all the processor directories doesn't contain the stl patch !!!

In order to check if the problem is with my problem setup, i ran snappy in series and then decomposed the mesh. In this case, I didn't have the problem and the solver runs perfectly.

Did any one else face the problem? Is there a solution for this problem?

Thanks,
Kalyan Goparaju
