Problems when running tutorials

Submitted by zhang on Wed, 11/18/2015 - 09:26

Dear all:
I can run the tutorials,but when I want to see results,I find the results are separated in four folders:processor 0-processor 3. I tried to use the command "reconstructPar"to merge the results,Although it work with tutorial"cfdemSolverPiso-ErgunTestMPI" etc, this method did not work with the tutorial
"cfdemSolverIB". It warn
"
cannot find file
file: /home/zwt/CFDEM/CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC-2.3.1/tutorials/cfdemSolverIB/twoSpheresGlowinskiMPI/CFD/processor0/0.03/polyMesh pointProcAddressing at line 0
from function regIobject::readstream()
in file db/regIobject/regIobjectRead.C at line 73
"
I then input command "reconstructParMesh" to solve it,and try again the command "reconstructPar",this time it report error
"

If anyone can give me some advice, I would very very appreciated.Thank you.

Hi Zhang,

sometimes reconstructPar has troubles with the created lagrangian data in the processor directories. You can try to use "reconstructPar --noLagrangian" .

However, if you look at the case with paraview, you can just select "decomposed Case" and directly post-process the decomposed data without having to reconstruct it. I usually use this approach.

Cheers
Josef

HI j-kerbl,
Thank you for your help. I finally solve this problem used your second method. When I use "reconstructPar noLagrange",a error occour
"Wrong number of arguments,expect 0 found 1".
And when used second method ,I choose "Reconstructed case",it works;but if I choose "Decomposed case",paraview show nothing although what I applied is file.foam in processor0 (processor3 in total), I cann't understand why.
But I can see results now anyway;so thank you very much.
