Hi there. I'm running a rhoPimpleFoam case where in a BC I use a codedFixedValue to set its temperature as the one read from other BC. It works fine when it runs in serial but when I try to run it in parallel I get the message shown in the picture.
The same problem with two OpFm versions OF1612+ and OpFm version 17.06 from CFD Support that I think is the OpFm dev from the fundation under cygwin running in Windows. I have to say that the crash message is not the same, I'm showing the one for the 17.06 version.
Hope someone can help me.
Regards.

It depends of the direction of the partition if it crash or not.

Hi,

Since it is CODED fixed value, it would be much easier to diagnose your case if you actually post your code.

Thank you very much for reply alexeym, I appreciate your time. I've been reading older post related and looks like an abnormal mathematical operation results when pointing in the mesh with the code inside the codedFixedValue. The strange thing to me is that this only happen when running in parallel and even in that case depends on the direction of decomposing the domain.
I'm posting the 0/T where I have the coded BC. The case is related with a freezer of a household refrigerator.

Hi,

Strange things can happen in FZ_SUCCION patch is not present in subdomain, where FZ_INLET is located. This line

label patchID = mesh.boundaryMesh().findPatchID("FZ_SUCCION");

sets patchID to -1, and the rest becomes slightly meaningless.

Either decompose domain so parts of above mentioned patches are present in all subdomains, or rewrite code.

Thank you alexeym for the explanation, now I see very clear what is happening. I'll follow your recommendations.
Best Regards.

Hi,
Decompose the domain with "preservePatches" option solved the problem.
Thanks for the hint alexeym.
