hconel is on a distinguished road
I am using the following script for mesh generation only. Want to run snappyHexMeshan topoSet in parallel:

Code:
nProc=32
cp -rf 0.org/ 0/

blockMesh &> log.blockMesh
decomposePar &> log.decomposePar
mpirun -np $nProc snappyHexMesh -parallel -overwrite &> log.snappyHexMesh

mpirun -np $nProc topoSet -parallel &> log.topoSet 

# reconstructParMesh -constant &> log.reconstructParMesh
If I run the reconstructParMesh at the end, the reconstructed mesh opens up in paraFoam without problems. But if I want to check individual mesh partitions in processor directories, i.e by running
Code:
paraFoam -case processor2
, or run a solver in already decomposed mesh without reconstructing, i.e. by running
Code:
mpirun -np $nProc pimpleFoam -parallel &> log.pimpleFoam
, I get the following error:

Code:

FOAM parallel run exiting
and this goes on for almost all processor neighboring faces. What is the reason and how can I overcome this? Here I have read that these lines are necessary:

Code:
ls -d processor* | xargs -i cp -r 0.org/* ./{}/0/ $1
but not sure where to use them and why?
