I am working on getting my cases to work in parallel. I use simpleFoam mostly which cannot seem to get to run in parallel. I run my cases using ./Allrun command. Can you all look to see what I am missing. snappyHexMesh runs just fine in parallel so I do not know why simpleFoam will not.

This is my Allrun file

#!/bin/sh
cd ${0%/*} || exit 1    # run from this directory

# Source tutorial run functions
. $WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/tools/RunFunctions



cp -r 0.org 0 > /dev/null 2>&1

runApplication blockMesh

cp system/decomposeParDict.hierarchical system/decomposeParDict

runApplication decomposePar

cp system/decomposeParDict.ptscotch system/decomposeParDict

runParallel snappyHexMesh 8 -overwrite -parallel

find . -type f -iname "*level*" -exec rm {} \;

ls -d processor* | xargs -i cp -r 0.org/* ./{}/0/ $1

runParallel renumberMesh 8 -overwrite

runApplication potentialFoam -noFunctionObjects -writep

runParallel `getApplication` 8

runApplication reconstructParMesh -constant

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.

The error message says that "keyword procBoundary1to7 is undefined in dictionary "/home/hancha/OpenFOAM/hancha-2.1.1/run/transient/motorBike/processor1/0/p::boundaryField"" .
Have you checked your p boundary???

Yes I have. My p boundary is the same as it is when running in serial.

When I check in processorX/constant/polyMesh/boundary I have a procBoundary1to7. Do I need to call all of these out in my p boundary?

Any other ideas? I know plenty of people run cases in parallel
