Hi,
I use in my simulation some input parameters (for example for the inlet temperature or for the flow rate ratio of an outflow). I have found out how to acess these variables via scheme. But is there also a way to access and change these parameters with an udf function?
Thanks...

Yes, it is possible. So take the following example:

In FLUENT, define your scheme variable 'x'

(rp-var-define 'x 0 'integer #f)

Now you have defined an integer variable x with 0 as its value.

To set this in a UDF

RP_Set_Integer("x",3)

Now you have set the scheme variable x to 3.

Two notes: Your variable must be a string in the UDF and the Integer portion changes based on the type of variable you have.

You can also access your variable in a UDF by:

y = RP_Get_Integer("x");

Now y is equal to your value set in the scheme variable x.

Please respond if you need more help.

Hello.

lorenz - how did you access the input parameters via scheme?

Look at the Fluent UDF manual. Section 3.6.2: Accessing a Scheme Variable in the Text Interface.

In this case, it would be:

(%rpgetvar ’x)
