Error: "insertion volume could not be distributed properly in parallel."

Hi,
I need to insert 8 µm spheres, and have considered an empty margin for the insertion face:
(real) inlet face:

  • x= 0
  • y_min= -1e-4, y_max=1e-4
  • z_min= 0, z_max= 1e-4

particle insertion face:

  • x=1.8e-5
  • y_min= -8.2e-5, y_max=8.2e-5
  • z_min= 1.8e-5, z_max= 8.2e-5

I get ERROR: Fix insert/stream (id ins): insertion volume could not be distributed properly in parallel. Bad decomposition or insertion face extrusion is too small or outside domain (../fix_insert_stream.cpp:551).

I would highly appreciate your help.
Thanks
