== Parallel Issues ==

Many features of Fluent do not work properlly in parallel. Some of these are trapped by the Cortex interface, some are not. Some of these are documented, some are not.

=== Merging Fluid Zones ===

When running in parallel merging fluid zones may result in an irrecoverable grid error. If you run a grid check you will find errors that the number of nodes found does not match the expected. This has been confirmed for a 21 million cell grid with some mixed cell type zones and some all hex zones. It is possible it may not occur under other circumstances.
