ITStream problems during decomposing a case using redistributePar

[timofeymukha]

Hey Timofey, as already mentioned, I am investigating into your library at the moment for real industry applications. However, there are already a few problems I encountered. Lets start with the first issue.

Using your library for v2212 and the LES motorbike tutorial lead to ITStream problems while using reconstructPar even with the simple blockMesh. Case + run script attached.

As for real industry applications, we commonly use the parallel application reconsturctPar it would be nice to have support for that application.

Thanks in advance,

OK, running decomposePar and then removing proc* is not necessary and can be skipped. I confirm that

mpirun -np 2 redistributePar -decompose -parallel
// I changed to 2 procs in the decomposeParDict to have less output
crashes with the ITStream error.

[1] --> FOAM FATAL ERROR: (openfoam-2212)
[1] Attempt to return primitive entry ITstream : stream.boundaryField.lowerWall.RootFinder, line 0, IOstream: Version 2.0, format binary, line 0, OPENED, GOOD
    primitiveEntry 'RootFinder' comprises
        on line 0: word '{'
        on line 0: word 'type'
        on line 0: word 'Newton'
 as a sub-dictionary

This is the function in primitiveEntry.H

        //- This entry is not a dictionary,
        //  calling this function generates a FatalError
        virtual const dictionary& dict() const;

To me, it seems like redistributePar is somehow not reading the subdictionary properly?

Haven't worked on that much. I think we need to create a simple bc outside the library that uses a dictionary and see if that works.
