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, Tobi @shor-ty

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.
