custom header file

why? · April 24, 2015, 22:42

Hi
Has anyone ever made a custom header file for a custom function not available in Fluent.
Shed some light or give an example please?
Thanks

Are you having trouble including a header file? A common header file to include for UDFs is:

Code:

#include "udf.h"

However, you can include any file you wish; including header/source files. You may require an absolute path instead of relative (for example, Fluent knows where to look for the udf.h).

Yes but for a macro not defined in Fluent do I have to make my own header file. For example if I want to write a new DPM law.

I'm not sure I understand your goal. You can write functions in a source file alongside your macros such as DEFINE_DPM_LAW.

Hmm, actually I think I will see for myself too what I mean and then get back
