accessing solver data with UDF macros

October 4, 2006, 02:39

Hi all,

I am running an unsteady simulation with Fluent and I need to access the time step number (if thats not possible then the iteration number) as well as the lift, drag and moment coefficient values within a UDF. The Fluent UDF help files seem incomplete with the macros that are listed there. I was wondering if any one would know what the macros for accessing this data is.

This is a common problem for me so if anyone can direct me to a better data base for macro information than the Fluent help files it would be much apreciated. Thanks in advance.
