To start I copied the angledDuct tutorial to my run folder and deleted all files that correspond to the mesh.



I then created my mesh using snappyHexMesh and was able to do so successfully. I ran checkMesh and it checks out.


So to get straight to the problem, when I try and run in parallel

mpirun -np 8 rhoPimpleFoam -parallel

I get an error, which is in the zip file include. file name "parallel error"



When I try and run it in series I get this

rhoPimpleFoam

I have found a similar thread started with this problem but it does help lead me to a solution.

Here is the cellZones file. Sorry for all the separate files. It was the only way I could figure out how to upload them.
