writing a dictionary in parallel

Hi all,

I feel a bit stupid with this question but I have been staring at this and breaking my head for hours now and do not get why this does not work.

I create an IOdictionary:

Code:

    

    IOdictionary

    (

        IOobject

        (

            dictName,

            mesh.time().timeName(),

            "uniform",

            mesh,

            IOobject::READ_IF_PRESENT,

            IOobject::AUTO_WRITE

        )

    )

and would expect that the object writes to the uniform directory in the time folder. It does so, but only into the serial / reconstructed one. Even if running in parallel.

What am I missing something here?

As a side note and in case that helps or makes a difference: I am running this in OF-10.

Hi Martin,

You can use -copyUniform flag when executing decomposePar or reconstructPar.

Bests,
