I am trying to preserve patches of cyclicAMI, as described in the User-Guide, i should include some code in my decomposeParDict and topoSetDict...

Constraints

These are constraints applied to the decomposition. Typical uses might be e.g. to keep a cyclicAMI patch on a single processor (might speed up simulation) or have maximum local donors in an overset case."

I have tried the following solution on following post:

preservepatches for cyclicAMI

in decomposeParDict:

constraints
{

// Keep all of faceSet on a single processor. This puts all cells
// connected with a point, edge or face on the same processor.
// (just having face connected cells might not guarantee a balanced
// decomposition)
// The processor can be -1 (the decompositionMethod chooses the
// processor for a good load balance) or explicitly provided (upsets
// balance)

processors
{
type singleProcessorFaceSets;
sets (
(front -1) //(f1 -1)
(back -1)
);
// enabled true;
}

}

in topoSetDict:

actions
(
{
name front;
type faceSet;
action new;
source patchToFace;
sourceInfo
{
name "front";
}
}
{
name back;
type faceSet;
action new;
source patchToFace;
sourceInfo
{
name "back";
}
}
);

i did however try including it and i recieve an error when running the case.

I am trying to see if it might speed up simulation as mentioned in the user guide "

Should i run the case normally decomposePar, pimpleFoam, and then reconstructPar, or should i include a specific command because we have a new topoSetDict we didnt have before?

Or is there another way to do this if this is the wrong way to do it?

Thanks!

Hi,

I see that enable true is commented.
Could you try without comment ?

I have a question,



where does the back and front come from? because my boundaries are defined such as:


INT_BLADE_2-SIDE-1
{
type cyclicAMI;
inGroups 1(cyclicAMI);
nFaces 1056;
startFace 14209224;
matchTolerance 0.0001;
transform coincidentFullMatch;
neighbourPatch INT_BLADE_2-SIDE-2;
method faceAreaWeightAMI;
}
INT_BLADE_2-SIDE-2
{
type cyclicAMI;
inGroups 1(cyclicAMI);
nFaces 704;
startFace 14210280;
matchTolerance 0.0001;
transform coincidentFullMatch;
neighbourPatch INT_BLADE_2-SIDE-1;
method faceAreaWeightAMI;
}

should i be inputting INT_BLADE_2-SIDE-2 , and so on instead of front and back? I dont understand what the front and back is exactly..


thanks
