When attempting to run a thermal/flow, ESC, or Space Systems Thermal solution on a Linux system using the parallel solver, the following warning and error is issued.
** Warning **
** The local computer name was not found among the computer names list
** specified into the parallel configuration file.
**
** Launching the validation tool UI.
** Please be sure that you do not change the name of the Parallel
** Configuration File specified. Additionally the location of the
** parallel configuration specified in the XML must exist and the new
** created Parallel Configuration File should be saved in that location.
** FATAL **
** MPIvalidationUI has terminated with errors.
Solution
This message is issued when the solution cannot find the specified parallel configuration file. Edit the xml file and search for the property named "Parallel Configuration File". Ensure that this points to a valid file for this system. Parallel config file must include the system the job is being launched from either defined via the hostname or "localhost".
