Hi everyone,

I am first time user to UDF, and using ansys 2016. I need UDF for the lower momentum boundary condition.

I am trying to put expressions for a 3D , 1/8 concentric sphere, and the fluid is driven by lower surface to oscillate with respect to z-axis.

I have attached the 2 diagrams below of the fluid surfaces.

In 2019 version, i can put the boundary conditions as expression as sin(t/1[s])*1[rad/s] for the lower oscillating surface.

If I want to write in UDF, can I write in this way ? Please help.

[CODE]
/************************************************** ********************
oscillatingwall.c
UDF for specifying a transient simple harmonic motion
************************************************** *********************/

#include "udf.h"
#define angular_freq 1
DEFINE_GRID_MOTION(inneroscillatingwall, dt, cg_vel, cg_omega, time, dtime)

{
Thread*t; /*is the pointer to the structure that store*/
real omega;

/* reset velocities */
NV_S (vel, =, 0.0);
NV_S (omega, =, 0.0);

t=DT_THREAD(dt); /*Get the tread pointer for which this motion is defined*/

omega = sin(angular_freq*time); /*rotional speed about axis*/

cg_vel[0] = 0.0; /*x y z translation*/
cg_vel[1] = 0.0;
cg_vel[2] = 0.0;

cg_omega[0]=0.0; /* x y z rotational axis*/
cg_omega[1]=0.0;
cg_omega[2]=omega;

}

I have tried several methods, and amending the code, this is what I currently face, could anyone please help ?

#include "udf.h"
#define angular_freq 1.0
DEFINE_CG_MOTION(inneroscillatingwall, dt, cg_vel, cg_omega, time, dtime)

{
real omega;

omega = sin(angular_freq*time); /*rotional speed about axis*/

cg_vel[0] = 0.0; /*x y z translation*/
cg_vel[1] = 0.0;
cg_vel[2] = 0.0;

cg_omega[0]=0.0; /* x y z rotational axis*/
cg_omega[1]=0.0;
cg_omega[2]=omega;

}

you didn't compile the code: nmake error in log

solution:
run Visual Studio console, run fluent from console, compile udf, load udf, hook udf function

Dear AlexanderZ,

Thanks for your comment, anyway, I did follow your advise, and follow steps as in this video, using visual studio to launch fluent, but I still face the same problem, nmake error, could you please advise ? I need your help . Hope to hear from you very soon.

[AlexanderZ]

there should be no problem, if you run fluent from visual studio console

Dear AlexanderZ,

There are 3 types of VS,
1. Community 2019
2. Professional 2019
3. Enterprise 2019

Which one should I actually select to install ? I had selected the Community 2019, but inside, there are a lot of tick to choose, which consume a lot of space, if all are selected, like 30GB++, but I have limited harddisk space. To install VS alone is only 600MB++, any part I should specifically to tick to include during the installation process ? Thank you.

[AlexanderZ]

you may try to use other approach

download microsoft windows sdk 7.1, if your system is x64 -> downlaod x64 version
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down...s.aspx?id=8279
download:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/down...s.aspx?id=4422


delete from your machine:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable 10.0.30319 (numbers could be different)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable 10.0.30319 (numbers could be different)

install:
SDK
Install VS compiler

Dear AlexandarZ,

Happy New Year, I had followed ur step, the UDF can build in an original version, but not cracked version.

Step one is done. I am trying to solve the load problem first. Will ask again if i could not solve the load problem.
