hi, all.
i am eager to get your help.
it's my fist time to write my udf and i have many problems. followings are the main ones.
my simulation deals with heterogeneous reaction and i want to define the rate of heterogeneous reaction. u know, this can only be realized by udf for the fluent included in ansys 12.0.
for some reasons, i can use compiling udf, on the other hand, my udf s simple, so i chose inteprete it. however, when i finish all settings and start calculating, error comes out and shows "interpreted functions not supported". i try other fluent tutorials examples, they successfully execute. so i think my udf is wrong. here it is:

/*This UDF aims to define the reaction rate requied to simulate the reduction of pellet.
Here, gas is a primary phase mixture of three spieces: h2o and h2 and n2.
solid phase is also a mixture which consists of fe2o3 and its reduction product fe. */
/*本UDF是用来定义非均相反应速率的，用于模拟球团的还原过程；
这里的气相是一个由h2o，h2和n2组成的；
固相是由fe2o3和它的还原产物fe组成的*/

I think you are not applying the reaction rate to the whole domain (I assume thats what you want to do). Instead you are using 'Thread' and limiting it to a face or a boundary. I suggest you consider using 'Domain' instead.

Please read the help section before you implement my suggestion.

Thanks for your advice. I will have a try tomorrow using the computer in experiment room. If I have another trouble, I will turn you for help.
Thank you!
