Hi every body ! i use a (Define_source) for calculing source term.To read a data extern (table_file(Meteo.txt) is denpend on the time). i use the function fscanf Where table_file is the file in which data is stored. and i use these values from the table in calculating the heat flux.every iteration at every time step i read the data file (Meteo.txt) and calcul the heat source , so i use the soubroutine (by Greg Perkins ftp://ftp.cfd-online.com/fluent/udf_scalar_dos.c ) My problom is that Fluent open and read the table_file on every cells because the define_Source is teh function typically loops overs cells in a cell thread and computes cell,(example if for 15000 cell the file meteo is open 15000) what i do ? can i use define adjust to read and store teh data ? please help me ************************************************** ************************************************** ********** File meteo time 0 3 ....
