mataus is on a distinguished road
I am encountering an error while trying to run a UDF in ANSYS Fluent for a water evaporation-condensation problem. The purpose of the UDF is to calculate the saturation pressure. In my simulation, phase 1 represents water in the liquid state, while the other phase represents a mixture of air and water vapor.

I have successfully compiled the UDF code without any errors or warnings. Additionally, I have assigned the saturation temperature in the "Saturation" tab within the "Evaporation-Condensation" settings. However, when I attempt to perform the initialization step, I encounter the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Node 0: Process 28764: Received signal SIGSEGV.
The fl process could not be started.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on my understanding of the problem, I believe that the error might be occurring within the "mixture_species_loop" of my UDF. Interestingly, everything seems to work fine before this part. I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions regarding the possible reasons behind this error.
