Default UDF growth rate, unsteady state

Hi!

I have a code for determining the growth rate of a crystal in terms of the supersaturation. However, I have realized that this code works only when I run the iterations in steady state. When I run iterations in unsteady state, I get an error message.

Does anyone have any idea about what I need to change?

Please see below the code

Thanks!

Hi,
Where do you linked your UDF code?
I'm basically doing the same where i wish to determine the growth rate of cells in a reactor. However, im still in the process of learning how to do it.
Anyone who can give some tips or infos related to this would is highly appreciated.
