Hi all,

I get the following error while trying to run reconstructPar.
I put the DecomposeParDict, controlDict, fwhControl, commonSettings files as below.

I've studied on this for days but I couldn't find the reason of this error.
Can someone please tell me how to correct this?

Thank you very much.

Quick answer: I don't know if you have solved this issue or not, but the error message seems to indicate that there no time folders inside the folders "cylinder2D_FWH_Degistirilmis/processor*".

When in doubt, run:

ls -l processor*/

which should show you the list of files and folders inside the folders starting with the name "processor".

Hi Bruno:-
I would like to report that I have faced the same problem with OF5, Where I have got:-
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
No processor* directories found

From function int main(int, char**)
in file reconstructPar.C at line 217.

FOAM exiting
Then, when checked the time folders in my prrocessorsfolder, I found all of them are available. for ex.
processor6/:
total 28

Morever, even if I run :-
reconstructPar -time 0.00401:0.02401
the same error still persists!
Any clue ?
Thanks!

Do you do decomposePar at the beginning of your simulation?

Is it possible to share you subfile (bashscript) to see what you have submitted?

Moreover, can I see your controlDict and the last lines of your log file (in case of existence)?

Thanks

Thanks Babak for your interest.
Yes, I have decomposed them at the beginning.
For bash script, I run this code on my PC which is 8 processors so there is no bash script for job scheduling.
Finally, I have inserted my controlDict file. Please, if you need more information, let me know.
Thanks again!

In the subfile that you sent me there was no decomposePar command.

Two factors might cause this issue:

1) you have not saved any time steps in your processors

2) there is sth wrong with decomposePar process (could be a grid problem).

Do this command and post the results:

  decomposePar > decompose.log 2>&1

Dear Babak:-
The subfile you are talking about is related to my job at the university where I did the decomposing before submitting my job. But what I am talking about here is related to my running on PC. I have splittedthe job on my 8 processors and it is running well. Howevere, when I stop the running and trying to extract the time, I get the error inserted in the previous post, although the time folders are available at the decomposed processors!
Thanks!
