Pb with simple Fluent UDF example for inlet

francois

Hi all,

I want use a fully turbulent velocity profile in the inlet of my computational domain.

I have used a very simple udf from the udf examples of Fluent. The udf is interpreted without error message but when:

* I want to initialize my solution with my velocity profile at the inlet I've got:

Error: prf-set-var: invalid flonum Error Object: nan

* I try to iterate, I have this error message:

Error: > (greater-than): invalid argument [2]: wrong type [not a number] Error Object: nan

So I suspect a division by zero, but can't find it in my udf.

Any ideas ? Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards Francois
