OF looks for system folder inside processor* folders

I have a decomposed case that i'm trying to solve with pisoFoam, but i receive this error:

Code:

[41] --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

[41] keyword PISO is undefined in dictionary "/gpfs/scratch/userexternal/lamerio0/testPrestazioni/hangar_pisoGAMG/processor41/system/fvSolution"

FOAM parallel run exiting

I don't understand why it looks for the fvSolution file inside the processor folder. I have the fvSolution file in the root/system/ folder and there is the PISO keyword correctly defined.

The strange thing is that i'm running two more case. A second one equal to this one but solved with pimpleFoam that gives me the same error (can't find the PIMPLE keyword there); and a third one with a different fvSolution file solved with pisoFoam that is running fine.

Any tip?

Thank you

Are you running it with "pimpleFoam -parallel"?

Hi Bernhard. Yes i am.

Now, after 2h looking into the code i saw there was maybe an error in the brackets.

If this is the error, excuse me for the stupid question.

I'm sorry, in the fvSolution file the PISO keyword had to be on the same "level" of the solver keyword, while I putted it inside that sub-dict.

This caused OF not to find it where it was expecting it to be.

Thank you very much and sorry
