Node values on UDF???

December 1, 1999, 12:14

Hello, I work on a UDF with fluent5.0 and I have a problem: Please I want to know how to get the node temperature on a boundary condition ? i know that with F_T(f,t) we can have face temperatures, what about node values? and how we can perform iterations on nodes? thank you

Hi,

Node values are only stored temporarily for postprocessing, so it isn't possible for you to perform iterations on nodes.

Temperatures are computed and stored at cell centroids and at boundary face centroids. Perhaps if you said what you are trying to do I could suggest another way for you to accomplish it.
