Hi guys,

I am using star-cd version4.0. I tried to run a case with newxyz and posdat subroutine, which is OK for one cup. But after I run the case with two cpus for a few seconds, I got the following error information.

Anyone knows what is the problem?

Many thanks in advance!

Have you ever run successfully in parallel without user subroutines? If not then you don't have things configured correctly. If you can run in parallel without user subroutines then the odds are that you are trying to do something in your subroutine that is illegal in parallel. For example, you can't loop over all the cells in the model in parallel - only all the cells in that processor.

I think I looped over some cells in the model.

I think that is the problem. But how can I find the cells which I need in my subroutine?

Many thanks!
