UDF creating a pulse input

mwood · May 24, 2013, 20:04

Hello

I am trying to create a pulse input to represent my system ideally it would have a 30min pulse every 24hrs. I have a 'line 1: parse error'
and I can't seem to figure it out
This is my code:

# include "udf.h"
DEFINE_PROFILE(velocity_magnitude, t, i)
{
real velocity;
real the_current_time;
face_t f;
the_current_time = CURRENT_TIME;
if ((the_current_time>=0) && (the_current_time<1800))
{
velocity=3;
}
if ((the_current_time>=86400) && (the_current_time<88200))
{
velocity=3;
}
if ((the_current_time>=172800) && (the_current_time<174600))
{
velocity=3;
}
else
{
velocity=0
}
begin_f_loop(f,t)
{
F_PROFILE(f,t,i) = velocity;
}
end_f_loop(f,t)
}

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Megan

Remove the space between # and include in the first line and try again.

Hey,

Thanks!

However, no such luck.

Any other ideas?

See this thread (http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/flu...e-error-2.html).

no luck with that thread either. If it were saved in the wrong spot would that cause this error?

Hi all ,I’m new in fluent and particularly UDF, I want to model a system that a gas is inlet and it flows for 3s and doesn’t flow for 3s alternatively and continuously. In fact it’s our respiration flow and the model is a respiratory mask.
How should I write UDF file? Probably CURRENT_TIMESTEP Macro should be used, Is it right?
Would you tell me please how should I write the UDF? This is very important for me.
Thank you very very much in advance.
