Hi,

I'm desperately trying to solve a problem. I'm running through the tutorial on dynamic meshing in the Fluent user guide. When I get to the step where I need to import my UDF: Define->User Defined->Functions->Compiled,

I get an error message. I have been trying to solve this using both Windows and Linux, but with no success.

I'm getting the following error message:

----------------------------------- cpp -IC:\Fluent.Inc\fluent6.1/src -IC:\Fluent.Inc\fluent6.1/cortex/src -IC:\Fluent.Inc\fluent6.1/client/src -IC:\Fluent.Inc\fluent6.1/multiport/src -I. -DUDFCONFIG_H="<udfconfig.h>" x-dir.c Error: x-dir.c: line 3: parse error.

'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ------------------------------------

Line 3, where the apparent error is reads:

static real v_prev = 0.0;

I'm lost. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

The parser stops at line 3, but you have to check both line 1 and 2. This is a C language syntax rule.

Thanks Ahmed,

the problem seems to be that it can't identify the command "nmake". I'm following the tutorial step by step and yet no success. I get stuck at step 8 in the dynamic mesh tutorial.

Is there something about compiling I should know, that isn't mentioned in the tutorial?

Fluent is most tuned to work with MS C compiler, do you have it correctly installed on your computer (Check your path)

Hey i have the same problem: trying to solve tutorial 11 on dynamic meshing in the Fluent user guide, and get stuck at step8 (Mesh motion) where I need to import my UDF: Define->User Defined->Functions->Compiled

The error message seems not to find the command "nmake"!!!

Help?! Thanks, Di

If you are working in windows environment please do install visual C++ and do not forget to register at ENVIRONMENT VARIABLEs at end of installation .

Hey, thanks it works now

I am working in windows and visual C++ was already installed, but some of my Environment Variables were missing...

Lesson learned: Always check whether ALL environment variables are set!!!
