Hi,

I'm having problem using decomposePar (and mapFields) for large problem.

My grid has abt 0.28 billion cells. I intend to run on a cluster with 1000 - 1500 cpus. It is a DES simulation and I need to use resumed data from a smaller problem, mapField, and then decomposePar.

However, I have some problems.

1. I used to run:

mapFields ../path/to/source -consistent -sourceTime latestTime

then

decomposePar -force

But maybe because the problem is too big, mapFields quit after about 0.5 hr.

2. Another way is to 1st create a folder with dummy files in the time step I want to map, then running

decomposePar -force

then

mapFields path/to/source -sourceTime latestTime -parallelSource -parallelTarget -consistent

or

mpirun -n xx mapFieldsPar -consistent -parallel -sourceTime latestTime path/to/source

However decomposePar also quit after 0.5 hr.

So what other solutions do I have?

Thanks

Why not make use of the cluster to do the map fields in parallel? Split both domains up, and use mpirun mapFieldsPar

Hi yambanshee,

Thanks for your suggestions. I have tried but using this way, I got the error:

[1021]
[1021]
[1021] --> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
[1021] Unable to set source and target faces
[1021]

Hence, I'm not able to use this mtd. Or do you know how to solve this problem?

Thanks.
