Hi,

I am now developing a new drag model by using the UDF. This model needs the gas variables in the location of tracked particles. But I always met the

Error" Reference Structure not implemented" in the following lines

cell_t c = RP_CELL(&p->cCell);

Thread *t = RP_THREAD(&p->cCell);

tf = C_T(c,t);

(My own UDF code is attached below.)

Then, I try the example in Fluent Manual. Even for

#include "udf.h"

DEFINE_DPM_OUTPUT(melting_output, header, fp, p, thread, plane)

{ real d;

d = P_DIAM(p);

d = p->state.diam;

}

The error" Reference Structure not implemented" still shows up at the line of

d = p->state.diam;

It seems that something wrong with the structure decalaration. I really apprecaite it if you once experienced similar problem and can give me some advices.

DEFINE_DPM_DRAG(udf_drag_force, Re, p)

real drag_force;

cell_t c = RP_CELL(&p->cCell); /* Get Cell and Thread from */

Thread *t = RP_THREAD(&p->cCell); /* Particle Structure */

tp = P_T(p);

dp = P_DIAM(p);

tf = C_T(c,t);

Cd = ...; /* equations for computing Cd */

drag_force = 18.*Cd*Re/24.;

return (drag_force); }

hi,

are u trying to use interpreted UDF? if so u can't use structure variables with it. u will have to use the compiled UDF to use these variables. if not,im sorry, i dont know why. all the best. siva
