Hello,
I have a problem reconstructing parallel cases, and I do not use any cyclic boundaries. I have a wedge mesh, with wall, wedge, symmetryPlane and patch as boundaries. When I try to reconstructPar I get:


Reconstructing volScalarFields

rho


--> FOAM FATAL ERROR : hanging pointer, cannot dereference

From function PtrList::operator[] const
in file /home/dm2/henry/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/PtrListI.H at line 76.

This just turned up one day as I was reconstructing a mesh. I use uncompressed, binary, but I don't think this matters because the error even turns up for the 0 time directory.

Wedges and cyclics are quite similar to each other. I imagine the bug fix posted in the bug forum will take care of your problem.

Unfortunately it did not work, the only difference is taht the reference to PtrListI.H refers to the one in my home directory and not the one in /home/dm2/henry

Can you report it as a bug and add a simple testcase?

Yes, here's a wedge if I decompose this using decomposePar, and then try to reconstruct it, I get the error. So I don't have to create some new data to do it.

Reproduced it.

You've got a patch called axis with zero faces in it in the original mesh and the code does not handle it. For my taste, you should get rid of the zero-sized patch because you don't need it.

You mean that the axis patch of a wedge should not be set and just left empty?

Yes - I've deleted the axis patch from the mesh before the decomposition and it works.

Hi eugune, in my case I use the cyclic boundaries. Now I meet the same problem "... hanging pointer, cannot dereference ...", you think, what should I do? Please help out.
