reconstructPar does not work in interDyMFoam

Dear All,

I am trying to execute "reconstructPar" utillity in a 3d case that I had simulated in ItterDyMFoam decomposed in 16 parts (cores) and I get the following message:

Can somebody please advise me what to do?

Thank you very much in advance

Hi,

Did you solve the problem?

andrea

try recontstructParMesh

Hello,

exactly: you must use reconstructParMesh before you can use reconstructPar

look here:

Sega posted a script for it:

    reconstructPar -time $line > logTmp;

done



rm logTmp;

Hi,

I am sure you must have found some solution some way, since this was posted a long time ago. I decided to just post mine just for anybody who runs into the same problem like me.

I use OpenFOAM-2.3.x. When you run a problem using AMR in parallel. To reconstruct, first open the system/controlDict file and change the entry for write format from "ascii" to "binary". Then do the following
1) run 'reconstructParMesh'
2) run 'reconstructPar'

This works with no problem in 2.3 version, not sure of the rest.

Cheers.
