Hello all,

I am testing the mesh motion for a simple case that consists of a rectangular block with 6 patches for 6 faces. I use pointMotionVelocity to drive the mesh motion.

If I run a solver like "InterDyMFoam" on a single processor, everything runs right. However, if I decompose the case to 2 or more processors and continue the run in parallel then I get errors similar to the below.

It seems the mesh.update() does not interpret the number of points to move on the patches distributed between the processors right. If I define the whole cube as a single patch and run it in parallel then I do not run into any issues.

Some validation on whether this is a true bug and insight into resolving the issue would be helpful.

Thanks

Cem
