DOLFIN

parallel computing with meshfunction as boundary condition

Asked by JJ Jiang

I am running dolfin-0.9.7. I created a script that runs fine on a single processor. When I used to use it for mpirun, the following error message occurred:

XMLMeshFunction for faces and facets is not (yet) working in parallel. Consider filing a bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/dolfin

I am wondering whether or not this error is due to some compilation problems because I compiled the dolfin-0.9.7 to avoid some conflicts in vtk libraries installed in my computer for our packages. The Scons configure complained Sctoch was not found.
Should I update my version to 0.9.10 to resolve this problem. Thanks so much for your kind help.

Best regards,
--JJ

No, it's a problem that still exists in the latest development version
(boundary markers with MeshFunction not working in parallel).
