hi, foamers,

I am simulating the pump inner flow with MRFSimpleFOAM (OpenFOAM-1.5-dev) on my PC successfully. Currently, I am experiencing some difficulties with parallelising my own GGI case on the HPC with MRFSimpleFOAM (OpenFOAM-1.5-dev),and I need your help.

As far as I was aware the GGI should work in parallel as long as the setBatch in system are defined before using the decomposePar utility.

I put the following instructions in setBatchDict:

faceSet interfacesuc_zone new patchToFace interfacesuc
faceSet interfaceimp1_zone new patchToFace interfaceimp1
faceSet interfacevol1_zone new patchToFace interfacevol1
faceSet interfaceckyc_zone new patchToFace interfaceckyc
quit

where, my boundary are：

wall
{
type wall;
nFaces 88020;
startFace 2294747;
}
wallhgb
{
type wall;
nFaces 28584;
startFace 2382767;
}
wallqgb
{
type wall;
nFaces 28448;
startFace 2411351;
}
interafcevol1
{
type ggi;
shadowPatch interfaceckyc;
bridgeOverlap false;
zone interfacevol1_zone;
nFaces 1446;
startFace 2439799;
}
interfacevol
{
type ggi;
shadowPatch interfaceimp;
bridgeOverlap false;
zone interfacevol_zone;
nFaces 22196;
startFace 2441245;
}
interfacesuc
{
type ggi;
shadowPatch interfaceimp1;
bridgeOverlap false;
zone interfacesuc_zone;
nFaces 2368;
startFace 2463441;
}
interfaceimp1
{
type ggi;
shadowPatch interfacesuc;
bridgeOverlap false;
zone interfaceimp1_zone;
nFaces 1120;
startFace 2465809;
}
interfaceimp
{
type ggi;
shadowPatch interfacevol;
bridgeOverlap false;
zone interfaceimp_zone;
nFaces 8680;
startFace 2466929;
}
interfaceckyc
{
type ggi;
shadowPatch interafcevol1;
bridgeOverlap false;
zone interfaceckyc_zone;
nFaces 748;
startFace 2475609;
}
wallimp4
{
type wall;
nFaces 2226;
startFace 2476357;
}
wallimp3
{
type wall;
nFaces 2238;
startFace 2478583;
}
wallimp2
{
type wall;
nFaces 2226;
startFace 2480821;
}
wallimp1
{
type wall;
nFaces 2262;
startFace 2483047;
}
outlet
{
type patch;
nFaces 748;
startFace 2485309;
}
inlet
{
type patch;
nFaces 3468;
startFace 2486057;
}
)

and then, I using the following commands:

setSet -batch setBatch

there is a error on the screen:

Create timeCreate polyMesh for time = 0Time:0 cells:1196068 faces:2489525 points:249609 patches:15
Reading commands from file "setBatch"
Cannot open file "setBatch" From function setSet
in file setSet.C at line 749.FOAM exiting

Does anyone know the reasons for this？

I have solved this problem by moving the setBatch file in the case folder from system folder. After typing:

setSet -batch setBatch
setsToZones -noFlipMap

I can see 4 more new faceZones in constant/polyMesh/sets was created, which are interfacesuc_zone,interfaceimp1_zone,interfacevol1 _zone,interfaceckyc_zone

Further, my system/decomposeParDict contains the following:

numberOfSubdomains 4;
method simple;
simpleCoeffs
{
n (2 2 1);
delta 0.001;
}
globalFaceZones(interfacesuc_zone interfaceimp1_zone interfacevol1_zone interfaceckyc_zone);
hierarchicalCoeffs
{
n (1 1 1);
delta 0.001;
order xyz;
}
metisCoeffs
{
processorWeights
(
1
1
1
1
);
}
manualCoeffs
{
dataFile "";
}
distributed no;
roots
(
);
//************************************************** *********************** //

then , processor0,processor1,processor2,processor3 were presented in my case folder. Until now, I think everything runs OK. However, when I run this case in parallel by typing:
mpirun -np 4 MRFSimpleFoam -parallel
there is an error, here are:

see the attachment

I don't know if there is another codes i should add into my case，does anyone help me?
