generic_property: not a generic method

Weiqiang Liu · June 16, 2020, 07:08

Hi all,

I am using DEFINE_PROPERTY macro to define thermal conductivity of fluid. I can compile and load UDF normally. However, fluent keeps complaining following error :

"Internal error at line 200 in file 'material\prop.c' on Node 3.

generic_property: not a generic method"

I am wondering why would this happen and how can I avoid this?

Best regards

Weiqiang

You might be using generic_property in an incorrect manner.

I just copied this code from official UDF manual. Maybe I missed the name of generic_property?

Do note that generic_property function works only with species transport model enabled.

Did you copy the code from the manual as it is using Copy procedure or did you type it yourself? If it is the former, then that won't work. You need to open the file in text editor, select it, and copy it to another file. Preferable would be to type it yourself in a new file.
