Hello,

i am trying to start a simpleFoam simulation with OpenFOAM 2.3.x with a 14 Million cells grid on 96 CPUs on a Linux cluster running CentOS 6.4. I get the following error(s):

SIMPLE: no convergence criteria found. Calculations will run for 40000 steps.

Starting time loop

forces forces:
    Not including porosity effects

--> FOAM Warning :

lots of this... (it is supposed to stop after 100 Warnings).

An MPI process has executed an operation involving a call to the

operating in a condition that could result in memory corruption or
other system errors; your MPI job may hang, crash, or produce silent
data corruption.  The use of fork() (or system() or other calls that
create child processes) is strongly discouraged.

Could someone point me in the right direction where to look for a solution?

Thank you!
