CFD Online Discussion Forums - Using fieldAverage function in parallel

Hi all,

I am currently running a case analyzing spray in a tube using the sprayFoam solver. I am running it remotely on multiple processes via the mpirun command. The code I am using to run the solver is:

mpirun -np 16 sprayFoam -parallel > log 2>&1

This has worked perfectly until I wanted to use the fieldaverage function. I receive an error message stating that the fieldAverage function was unable to locate a file path. error message:

Code:

[1] --> FOAM FATAL ERROR:

I don't want to post process the fieldaverage as the solution is very large and I don't want to have to collect the entire run's worth of data. What do I need to do to be able to run this case in parallel?

Thanks!! and let me know if you need anymore info
