Summary0001530: fvMeshDistribute does not handle pointFIelds
DescriptionThe fvMeshDistribute class, which is intended for load-balancing, does not re-distribute pointFields. This is vital for dynamic mesh problems (like six-DOF) which rely on pointMesh functionality to specify boundary conditions.
Steps To ReproduceTake any dynamic mesh case with pointFields (and optionally, changing mesh topology), and invoke fvMeshDistribute.
TagsNo tags attached.

This seems conceptually similar to issue #1140: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1140

Any chance you can provide a test case?

No - it's not related. That issue deals with mapping pointFields, and seems to fail even in serial. This is parallel-specific because of re-distribution.

This really doesn't need a test case - it's not a bug but rather, missing functionality. And it's pretty obvious from the fvMeshDistribute sources that only volFields/surfaceFields are mapped, but not pointFields.
