Dear users,

I have a problem running in parallel OpenFoam. A program uses the solver chtMultiRegionFoam that I modify to simulate two regions: water and solid material.
If I run it with a single core, I do not have problems. When I run in parallel (4 core), using decompoParDict for each region, I have problem only with water (not solid) and the following error message appears:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
inconsistent patch and patchField types for patch type symmetry and patchField type simmetryfile: 

/home/christian/user/user/case/0/coolant/cellToRegion.boundaryField.sides from line 26 to line 26.    From function static Foam::tmp<Foam::fvPatchField<Type> > 

Foam::fvPatchField<Type>::New(const Foam::fvPatch&, const 

Foam::DimensionedField<Type, Foam::volMesh>&, const Foam::dictionary&) [with Type = double]    in file /home/christian/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.1/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude/fvPatchFieldNew.C at line 160.FOAM exiting

I tried to modify the program, in order to have the right matching between Patch and PatchField: it doesn't work. This problem is strange because it should also appear for the case of a single core.
Any suggestions, please?
Thank you for your time.
Regards,

Christian
