Hi All,

I am trying to write several UDFs and I found there is a serious lack of "cell variable macro names" in the UDF manuals (and almost anywhere I can look). For example, a cell variable for x-velocity is C_U(c,t). I was hoping someone could help me with the following properties I want to pull OUT of fluent in order to write a UDF. I am using the Eulerian multiphase option.

The properties I am looking for currently are constants, I just want to make sure the UDF can take the information out of Fluent so the user doesn't have to go in and change the UDF every time they want to run a different particle type (i.e. I want it idiot proof).

1. Particle diameter
2. Coefficient of Restitution

I would be happy to start compiling a list of cell variable macro names and posting on updating on the forum.

I have found the granular temperature is C_GT(c,t).

Thanks!

Hey, do you know how to get the size of the cell using udf, like the length and the width of the cell, if in a 2d simulation. thanks.

There is no macro available for calculating length and width of cell in fluent.

AlexanderZ will become famous soon enoughAlexanderZ will become famous soon enough
there are macros to get faces area of cell:
F_AREA_2D_X(f,t)
F_AREA_2D_Y(f,t)
F_AREA_2D_Z(f,t)
from this you can calculate length and width
C_VOLUME(c,t) gives you a volume of cell
