Dear all,

I'm trying to generate a mesh for a vehicle for external aero by using snappyHexMesh.

I'm using scotch method for the domain decomposition (also tried simple) and I'm getting these lines (photo attached) before starting mesh generation.

I entered the file mentioned (btl_tcp_component.c). But I couldn't understand why I got a problem.

if(bind(sd, (struct sockaddr*)&inaddr, addrlen) < 0) {
                if( (EADDRINUSE == opal_socket_errno) || (EADDRNOTAVAIL == opal_socket_errno) ) {
                    continue;
                }
                BTL_ERROR(("bind() failed: %s (%d)",
                          strerror(opal_socket_errno), opal_socket_errno));
                CLOSE_THE_SOCKET(sd);
                return OMPI_ERROR;
            }
            goto socket_binded;

I would appreciate it if someone can help me

Thanks in advance

Have you checked out this tutorial? It also runs snappyHex in parallel.

1) It seems to be that you are missing the rights to bind a port. Check your rights of openmpi.
2) Check a simple snappyHexMesh Tutorial in parallel: if it si not working
3) recompile openmpi

Quick answer: To make it easier for search engines to find this question, please provide the error message in text... the main error reported several times was this:

[...] bind() failed: Permission denied [...]

Given that mpirun was launched with "-n 72", my guess is that Open-MPI or whichever MPI toolbox being used tried to bind the applications to each available core on the current machine (because no machine file with a list of machines) was given. This means that if the current machine only has 4 cores, then the remaining 68 bind attempts will fail, because there are only 4 successful ones, 1 per core.

How to use more than one machine? Read this: https://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?catego...-host-problems
