The UDF is built and loaded well in windows platform by installing VC++. But when I do the same thing in suse linux or redhat linux, it works well in serial simulation but loading failed in parallel simulation. The hint shows:

The UDF library you are trying to load (libudf/inamd64/3d_host/libudf.so) is not compiled for parallel use on the current platform (lnamd64)
no error
/cae/maye/fluent/test/libudf/lnamd64/3d_host/libudf.so


All gcc (C++&Fortran) of x86_64 has been installed. How can I solve the problem? Shall I install more codes or set any environments? The UDF file is:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "udf.h"
DEFINE_CG_MOTION(wall, dt, vel, omega, time, dtime)
{
if(time<=8.0)
{
vel[2]=-0.75*time;
}
if(time>8.0&&time<=14.0)
{
vel[2]=-6.0;
}
if(time>14.0&&time<=22.0)
{
vel[2]=-6.0+0.75*(time-14.0);
}
if(time>22.0)
{
vel[2]=0.0;
}
Message("\nUDF value: velx=%f",vel[2]);

}

You need to add compiler directives into your UDF. These go something like this:

#if RP_HOST
/*enter code here*/
#endif

or

#if RP_NODE
/*enter code here*/
#endif

There are others, but I suggest reading through the manual first. This should help you too: http://aerojet.engr.ucdavis.edu/flue...df/node207.htm

THX!
I tried to modify the UDF file as follows, but the error still there:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "udf.h"

DEFINE_CG_MOTION(wall, dt, vel, omega, time, dtime)
{
#if RP_NODE
if(time<=8.0)
{
vel[2]=-0.75*time;
}
if(time>8.0&&time<=14.0)
{
vel[2]=-6.0;
}
if(time>14.0&&time<=22.0)
{
vel[2]=-6.0+0.75*(time-14.0);
}
if(time>22.0)
{
vel[2]=0.0;
}
#endif
#if RP_HOST
Message("\nUDF value: velx=%f",vel[2]);
#endif
}


How to solve it?

When I click load, the following errors show:

Node 0: Doesn't have write permissions for libudf/lnamd64/3d_node. If using local disk, make sure UDF lib is synced up on all nodes.

I am also experiencing the same issue. May I know have you figured out the solution?

@maye761, were you using normal or superuser login when you experienced this problem?
I got the same error, even after inserting some compiler directives on the code.
If you solve this problem, could you share the way, please?

Thank you.

Hi, try like this. I'm not a coding expert but maybe it will work.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "udf.h"

DEFINE_CG_MOTION(wall, dt, vel, omega, time, dtime)
{
#if !RP_HOST
 if(time<=8.0)
  { 
   vel[2]=-0.75*time;
 }
 if(time>8.0&&time<=14.0)
  { 
   vel[2]=-6.0;
 }
 if(time>14.0&&time<=22.0)
  { 
   vel[2]=-6.0+0.75*(time-14.0);
 }
  if(time>22.0)
  { 
   vel[2]=0.0;
 }
#endif 
#if !RP_HOST
 Message("\nUDF value: velx=%f",vel[2]);
#endif
}

Regardless of anything else, this is a much better structure:
Code:
if(time<=8.0)
{
  vel[2]=-0.75*time;
}
else if(time<=14.0)
{
  vel[2]=-6.0;
}
else if(time<=22.0)
{
  vel[2]=-6.0+0.75*(time-14.0);
}
else
{
  vel[2]=0.0;
}

And it does not take a lot of effort to add parameters that can be varied later:
Code:
#define PLATEAU_VEL -6.0
#define PLATEAU_TIME_START 8.0
#define PLATEAU_TIME_END 14.0
#define PLATEAU_DURATION_RAMPDOWN 8.0

if(time<=PLATEAU_TIME_START)
{
  vel[2]= time * (PLATEAU_VEL/PLATEAU_TIME_START);
}
else if(time<=PLATEAU_TIME_END)
{
  vel[2]= PLATEAU_VEL;
}
else if(time<= (PLATEAU_TIME_END+PLATEAU_DURATION_RAMPDOWN))
{
  vel[2]= PLATEAU_VEL * (1.0 - (time - PLATEAU_TIME_END)/PLATEAU_DURATION_RAMPDOWN);
}
else
{
  vel[2]=0.0;
}
