Hi,

I'm simulating a incompressible flow around blades.
I wanna do it parallel, so I use decomposePar command but it doesn't work well.
Here's a part of log file of decomposePar.

Code:
    Processor 55
    Number of cells = 44285
    Number of faces shared with processor 50 = 1401
    Number of faces shared with processor 51 = 685
    Number of faces shared with processor 52 = 294
    Number of faces shared with processor 53 = 1511
    Number of faces shared with processor 54 = 2569
    Number of processor patches = 5
    Number of processor faces = 6460
    Number of boundary faces = 2488

Number of processor faces = 184549
Max number of cells = 45166 (0.998123% above average 44719.6)
Max number of processor patches = 14 (71.179% above average 8.17857)
Max number of faces between processors = 9366 (42.1021% above average 6591.04)

Time = 0

I don't understand the meanings of these error well.
What is the "box" in this case?
And what can I do to solve this?

The box is referring to the bounding box of you AMI patches. I'm not sure if the error is related to decomposePar at all, have you tried running your case without decomposing?


Anyway, I would check the AMI patch geometries carefully, you seem to have some mismatch between target and source patches and AMI is pretty picky about geometric matching. If you have non-matching patches, you need to use ACMI instead, but I'm pretty sure this is just a tolerance issue.

Thanks for replying.
I also thought that it may be an independent problem from decomposing, so I tried running without decomposing, and got the same error.

I'll try ACMI from now on, but what does "just a tolerance issue" mean?
Is there some parameter I can modify about AMI?

What I meant was that try to check if your AMI patches are geometrically in the same place and that you have sufficient mesh density to resolve the AMI patches. The problem is likely caused by too large mismatch between your source and target patches. Check the third coordinate where the difference is. There is a matchTolerance parameter you can set and try to tune for AMI patches, but the first thing to try should be improving patch matching.

I do understand now what you mean. I’ll check my mesh.
Thank you for you politeness.

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to simulate a fan by using sliding Mesh and cyclicAMI but I'm having the next error when I wanted to run with pimpleDyMFoam (v1712):

[101] --> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
[101] Unable to set source and target faces
[101]
[101] From function void Foam::faceAreaWeightAMI<SourcePatch, TargetPatch>::setNextFaces(Foam::label&, Foam::label&, Foam::label&, const boolList&, Foam::labelList&, const Foam:ynamicList<int>&, bool) const [with SourcePatch = Foam::PrimitivePatch<Foam::face, Foam::SubList, const Foam::Field<Foam::Vector<double> >&>; TargetPatch = Foam::PrimitivePatch<Foam::face, Foam::SubList, const Foam::Field<Foam::Vector<double> >&>; Foam::label = int; Foam::boolList = Foam::List<bool>; Foam::labelList = Foam::List<int>]
[101] in file lnInclude/faceAreaWeightAMI.C at line 287.
[101]
FOAM parallel run aborting

and this is my createPatchDict:
FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class dictionary;
location system;
object createPatchDict;
}
pointSync false;
patches
(
{
name cm_fan_region_00_940w_brose_interface_ami;
patchInfo
{
type cyclicAMI;
matchTolerance 1.0E-4;
neighbourPatch cm_fan_region_00_940w_brose_interface_slave_ami;
transform noOrdering;
}
constructFrom patches;
patches (cm_fan_region_00_940w_brose_interface);
}
{
name cm_fan_region_00_940w_brose_interface_slave_ami;
patchInfo
{
type cyclicAMI;
matchTolerance 1.0E-4;
neighbourPatch cm_fan_region_00_940w_brose_interface_ami;
transform noOrdering;
}
constructFrom patches;
patches (cm_fan_region_00_940w_brose_interface_slave);
}
);

the problem involves a rotational movement.

If someone has an idea or suggestion, I will appreciate.
