Hi, All,

Thank you for taking your time. I have a problem on how to loop search all cells that have the same value of x[0] in a domain using UDF of FLUENT.

Thanks,

If you want to do it for the same value of x[0] each time, you can mark the cells (Adapt > Mark), which you can then access in your UDF as a separate zone. Otherwise I see no better alternative than to loop over all cells and check x[0].

Try this unchecked code...It is a partial UDF, in that I don't know where you're using it (DEFINE_PROPERTY, etc...), but it should loop over all threads and all cells in a domain. Note that this assumes your UDF is passed a domain pointer.

real value_to_search_for;
Thread *c_thread;
cell_t c;
real xc[ND_ND];

/* your value here */
value_to_search_for=5.0;

thread_loop_c(c_thread, domain) /*loops over all cell threads in domain*/
{
begin_c_loop(c, c_thread)    /* loops over cells in a cell thread  */
	{                         
		C_CENTROID(xc,c,c_thread);
		if (xc[0]==value_to_search_for)
		{
			/* your code here */
		}
	}                         
end_c_loop(c, c_thread)                
}

Hi, ComputerGuy,

Really thank you for the reply. I was working on my code using the similar method you mentioned. However, I could not be able to make the program work. The main purpose is to get the summation of values of cells in same rows of a zone (the code is for the source term in UDS and applied for a porous zone). If possible, could you please help me to check the code I wrote? If so I am really appreciated, and please tell me your email address that I can sent the code file to you.

Thanks and Happy New Year,

Lig
