Hi all,
I have a problem with my UDF. I am trying to create a cycle of a well defined mass flow rate in the inlet of a square channel. I need to create a loop for a inlet mass flow rate of 1.5 if the time is under 10 seconds and when it is over 10 seconds it should be 8.33 until it arrives to 20 seconds. These two steps (high & low mass flow rate) then should be cycled 200 times.
Below I attach the code I wrote to clarify the problem.

#include "udf.h"
int j=0;
int k=10;
int n;
int o;
int m;
int v=10;
DEFINE_PROFILE(flow_profile,t,i){
face_t f;
real ti=CURRENT_TIME;
begin_f_loop(f,t){
for ( n=0; n<=200; n++ ){
if(ti>=j && ti<=v){
F_PROFILE(f,t,i)=1.5;
}else{
o=j+10;
v=k+10;
if( ti>o && ti<=v ){
F_PROFILE(f,t,i)=8.33;
}else{
j=j+10;
v=v+10;
}
}
m=n;}
}
end_f_loop(f,t)
}

You can use for this FSI one way method

Ok thank you for your fast answer, finally I found the solution only changing some variables.
