oskar is on a distinguished road
I've probably been going at this the wrong way, but haven't been able to find the correct way to to setup a parallel case.

What I've been doing:
1. blockMesh
2. snappyHexMesh
3. manually define boundary conditions
4. decomposePar
5. mpirun case

I would prefer to run snappyHexMesh in parallel because:
a) running out of memory on single computer
b) running on one core is very slow

What I've tried:
1. manually setup boundary condition for time 0
2. decomposeParDict: method metis
3. blockMesh
4. decomposePar
5. decomposeParDict: method parMetis
6. mpirun snappyHexMesh

This results in a good mesh, but the problem is I can't figure out how to get the boundary conditions to follow the mesh generation to timestep 3. Snappyhexmesh does insert the stl-wall boundary correctly, but doesn't touch the p, U etc. files.

Could some knowledgeable FOAMer point me in the right direction?
