| Summary | 0004196: Running the decomposePar utility fails for a case with displacementComponentLaplacian dynamic mesh motion | ||||
| Description | The issue appears when running the decomposePar utility and using displacementComponentLaplacian for dynamic mesh motion. The mesh motion direction (component) is defined in the constant/dynamicMeshDict dictionary file and is, e.g., "z". The actual mesh motion (for a patch) is defined in the initial condition dictionary file 0/pointDisplacementz. When running the case as one process (i.e., not in parallel), the case runs smoothly without error or warning messages and timestep folders are generated accordingly. When trying to run the case in parallel and when using the decomposePar utility, the following error message is received: --- ... Decomposing point fields Decomposing pointVectorFields pointDisplacementz --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: Expected a '(' while reading VectorSpace<Form, Cmpt, Ncmpts>, found on line 19 the doubleScalar 0 file: /home/jussi/OpenFOAM/jussi-dev/run/Pulse_Two/Pulse_Two-6/0/pointDisplacementz/internalField at line 19. From function Foam::Istream& Foam::Istream::readBegin(const char*) in file db/IOstreams/IOstreams/Istream.C at line 92. FOAM exiting --- The content of line 19 is "internalField uniform 0.0;". It looks like the decomposePar utility is errorneously expecting vector representation of the displacement component data, which should be scalar (displacement component). The same case runs correctly when using velocityComponentLaplacian for dynamic mesh motion (naturally with different actual mesh motion definition with a 0/pointMotionUz dictionary file). | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Unzip the attached test case. 2. Run the decomposePar utility. | ||||
