I'm trying to make a UDF that interpolates between values of a continuous curve defining wall temperature to evaluate the difference the interpolation makes on the solution.

Here is the working continuous UDF:

#include "udf.h"
#define t0 0.00288

DEFINE_PROFILE(panel_wall_7_temperature, thread, i)
{
	face_t f;
	double time;
	begin_f_loop(f, thread)
	{
		time = CURRENT_TIME;
		F_PROFILE(f, thread, i) = 300.0 + 100.0 * (time / t0) - 25.0 * pow((time / t0), 3.0);
	}
	end_f_loop(f, thread)
}

And here is the non-working interpolating UDF for 100 time steps doing interpolation between every 4th point in time:

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

#define t0 0.00288

main()

{
	int i;	
	double Tw4i[26]; 
	double t4i[26];
	
	for (i=0;i<26;i++)
		t4i[i]=4.0*i*t0/100; /*Assemble discretized time vector*/

	for (i=0;i<26;i++)
		Tw4i[i]= 300.0 + 100.0*t4i[i]/t0 - 25.0*t4i[i]*t4i[i]*t4i[i]/t0/t0/t0; /*Discretized Wall Temperature vector to interpolate to*/

DEFINE_PROFILE(panel_wall_7_temperature_sub100, thread, i)
{
	face_t f;
	double t;
	double TL;
	double TR;
	double tL;
	double tR;

	begin_f_loop(f, thread)
	{
		t = CURRENT_TIME; /*Current timestep time that FLUENT is calculating from*/

		for (i=0;i<25;i++)
			TL=Tw4i[i]; /*Nearest Left Temperature*/
			TR=Tw4i[i+1]; /*Nearest Right Temperature*/
			tL=t4i[i]; /*Nearest Left time*/
			tR=t4i[i+1]; /*Nearest Right time*/
			
			if (t>=tL && t<=tR)
				F_PROFILE(f, thread, i) = TL + ((TR-TL)/(tR-tL))*(t-tL); /*Linear interpolation to surrounding discrete temperature values*/

	}
	end_f_loop(f, thread)
}
}

Any idea what needs fixed for the latter? I have Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate through my school's Dreamspark program, so I don't get the 'nmake' error...

Might as well post this for anyone that stumbles upon this with the same issue:

Eliminated the 'nmake' error by launching from Net2.0 "SDK Command Prompt"

Now, it seems to compile correctly.

Here's my new code, I just edited it to get rid of the vector. It has to reassemble the temperature curve every timestep but that's fine.

#include "udf.h"


#define t0 0.00288

		
DEFINE_PROFILE(panel_wall_7_temperature_sub100, thread, i)
{
	
	face_t f;
	double TL;
	double TR;
	double tL;
	double tR;
	int j;
	double t;

	begin_f_loop(f, thread)
	{
		t = CURRENT_TIME; /*Current timestep time that FLUENT is calculating from*/

		for (j=0;j<25;j++){
			tL=4.0*j*t0/100; /*Nearest Left time*/
			tR=4.0*(j+1)*t0/100; /*Nearest Right time*/
			TL=300.0 + 100.0*tL/t0 - 25.0*tL*tL*tL/t0/t0/t0; /*Nearest Left Temperature*/
			TR=300.0 + 100.0*tR/t0 - 25.0*tR*tR*tR/t0/t0/t0; /*Nearest Right Temperature*/
			
			if (t>=tL && t<=tR)
				F_PROFILE(f, thread, i) = TL + ((TR-TL)/(tR-tL))*(t-tL);} /*Linear interpolation to surrounding discrete temperature values*/

	}
	end_f_loop(f, thread)
}
