Hello,

I am writing my udf in fluent for material properties. Where I have to assign certain limit for both temperature and pressure in the beginning of the udf.

Also this bounded value, I want to use it in other properties in the same udf.

Can any one give me some ideas how I can define limit in udf ?

Thank you

You can establish a loop over either faces or cells and check the parameters you wish. If their values would have exceeded maximum range, you can be informed by an if-clause, for example:

if (C_P(c,t) > 1e+10)
Error("pressure has exceeded maximum range");

Above command lines will stop UDF procedure.

Goodluck

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

In my case I am using wet-steam udf for calculating thermodynamical properties (like, P, T, Cp, Cv, rho, etc). All are the functions of T and Rho in polynomial form.

In my case, the calculated values in fluent increased too much. That's why I want to set a certain limit for Temp. and rho. Like one example,

P = f(T,rho),

if T > 360 K then T = 360 K
else T = T

Same for rho also.

I want to put this 'if-else' clause in my udf, can you guide me how to write it?
