Hi all!
I have a question relative to UDF. I have already used UDF before but I have never encountered this problem.
In fact I got the error message "inlet3d.c": line 1: syntax error.
I don't understand because the first line of my udf is just as in any udf I have used # include "udf.h".

I have just changed my Fluent version from 6.3 to 12.1.4. Moreover the problem only appears when I launch my simulations in parallel on a cluster. I have no problem when I open Fluent and interpret my udf directly.
Do I need to add something to my c-code when I launch it in parallel on the cluster? Is it a problem of Fluent version?

Here is my udf:
#include "udf.h"

/* pressure profile */

real b=0.01;

DEFINE_PROFILE(pressure_profile, thread, index)
{
real x[ND_ND],y;
face_t f;
real u;

begin_f_loop(f, thread)
{
F_CENTROID(x,f,thread);
y=x[2];
u=40*(1-0.2*exp(-(y/b)*(y/b)));
F_PROFILE(f,thread,index) = 100376.35*pow((1+0.2*(u)*(u)/(1.4*287*293.15)),(1.4/0.4))-101325;
}
end_f_loop(f,thread)
}

Thanking you in advance for your help.

Check line end format of ur UDF file.

Try 'dos2unix filename' before using the file on the cluster.

Or ... maybe your UDF is not a parallel UDF ...

Since it runs flawlessly on serial Fluent I suppose there is not a syntax problem or an EOL mismatch.

You need to parallelize an UDF in order to properly run in parallel - see Fluent UDF manual there is an entire chapter about parallelizing a serial UDF.

Thanks for your answers!

fox000002: I have worked on a Linux computer so I don't think the problem comes from the format.
DoHander: I will try what you have told me. However it's strange because yesterday I managed to launch it on the cluster with a simpler mesh so I really don't understand but I'll have a go at parallelizing my udf!
