Hello everyone,

I'm trying to compile UDF in the fluent but at the time of compiling it is showing the following error to each UDF at assigning the function everytime.

UDF 1 for n = no * exp(-(R*T/(Alpha+(beta*T))^2)*ln(p_o/p)^2)

#include "udf.h"

DEFINE_ADJUST(ads,domain)
{
Thread *t;
real E,A,P;
cell_t c;

thread_loop_c (t,domain)
{
begin_c_loop (c,t)
{
real tem = C_T(c,t);

P=C_P(c,t)+RP_Get_Real("operating-pressure");
E=3080+18.9*tem;
A=8.314*tem*log(1.47E9/P);

C_UDSI(c, t, ads) = 71.6*(exp(-((A*A) / (E*E)))); error is in this line

}
end_c_loop (c,t)
}
}

error in compiling this file is
error C2296: '*' : illegal, left operand has type 'void (*)(Domain *)'

Can anyone please help me with this?

have you defined the UDS? If yes, try to assign this value in DEFINE_EXECUTE_AT_END and see if it works.

[sridhar palla]

i don't understand the defining UDS here,
ads is the function name i'm using to define 'n' and in C_UDSI macro im assigning it.
And how to assign the value in DEFINE_EXECUTE_AT_END ?

Thank you.

Thank you.

ads is the name of the scalar you are defining, but you have not declared it. you need to declare the number/name of your scalars.

All the information I am writing is in the manual...

This is the complete UDF i'm doing for mass source term
it is (mass source term) Sm = X* d(n,t)
the first code i posted for n only
in this udf i'm adding to it calls the n every calculating Sm here

}
end_c_loop(c, t)
}
}

return C_UDSI_M1(c, t, d_ads); "error C2296 in this line"

}

error in compiling this file is

Can you please check this once ?

As I mentioned before, you need to define ads and q_ads. Fluent defines the name of the UDS as 0,1,2... If you do not tell fluent that ads and q_ads are your UDS, he wont be able to know.

add this at the begging of you code

enum /* UDSs */
{
ads,
q_ads,
NUM_UDS
};

[upeksa]

#include "udf.h"

enum
{
ads,
q_ads,
d_ads,
};

DEFINE_ADJUST(define_ads,domain)
{
Thread *t;
real E,A,P;
cell_t c;
real tem;

thread_loop_c(t,domain)
{
begin_c_loop(c,t)
{
tem = C_T(c,t);

P=C_P(c,t)+RP_Get_Real("operating-pressure");

E=3080.0+18.9*tem;

A=8.314*tem*log(1.47e9/P);

C_UDSI(c,t,0) = 71.6*(exp(-((A*A) / (E*E))));

}
end_c_loop(c,t)
}
}



DEFINE_ADJUST(define_q_ads,domain)
{
Thread *t;
cell_t c;
real dt;

thread_loop_c(t,domain)
{
begin_c_loop(c,t)
{
dt=RP_Get_Real("physical-time-step");
C_UDSI(c,t,q_ads)=C_UDSI_M1(c,t,q_ads)+0.15*dt*(C_ UDSI_M1(c,t,ads)-C_UDSI_M1(c,t,q_ads));
}
end_c_loop(c,t)
}
}

DEFINE_ADJUST(define_d_ads, domain)
{
Thread *t;
cell_t c;

thread_loop_c(t, domain)
{
begin_c_loop(c,t)
{
C_UDSI(c, t, d_ads) = -0.532224*0.15*(C_UDSI(c, t, ads) - C_UDSI(c, t, q_ads));
}
end_c_loop(c,t)
}
}


DEFINE_SOURCE(m_src,c,t,dS,eqn)
{

return C_UDSI_M1(c, t, d_ads);
}


Here is your code, it compiles now. You had many issues, for example ads, q_ads and d_ads must be integer numbers, not real numbers. Moreover, they cannot be at the same time the name of the macro itself (I have change the name of the macro "define_ads" and so on.

Check the code, since I don't know what do you want to do and I might have made some modifications that don't work in your case.

Thank you for the reply now my UDF is compiling but while intializing the model showing below error

" received a fatal signal (Segmentation fault)"

Can you please help me with this what might be the problem ?

this usually is associated with the fact fluent is trying to obtain something is not available. Check is all your variables are properly assigned.

You can add messages to your code, so you will be able to see where it stops. use something like

Message("1");
.
YOUR CODE
.
Message("2");
