Summary0000836: viewFactorsGen viewFactors in parallel
DescriptionHi all

I found a strong problem in viewFactor in parallel

Radiative flux are miscalculated in parallel.
For a serial job all radiative flux are good and Fij are good.

In parallel, an overestimation appears flux are overestimated in my case with a factor 400!!!

With my competence, I analyse the code :
- LU is good
- Error or the exact overestimation is independent of processor number
- Error or the exact overestimation is independent of decomposition method
- Error or the exact overestimation is independent of dimensions of the case
- Error or the overestimation appears in coners with a 90° angle and the error is independant of featureAngle or nFacesInCoarsestLevel
- Error seems to be slightly when constant emissivity is changed but it's not significant
- Fij agglomeration or Fij calculation in parallel is bad

Steps To ReproduceI couldn't give my case, cause of confidentiality

We tested the view factor calculation in parallel and we could not find any problem in our cases. If you can provide a "test" case which reproduces your problem we could have a look.
Thanks

Sergio, please look at my reports on problems with parallel viewFactors calculations and faceAgglomeration
