I am trying to implement the Abel-Nobel equation of state for a problem thus requiring me to write a UDRGM. I took the example for the Ideal Gas Equation of State from the fluent12.0 users Manuel (the version I'm using) and made some changes to it to suit my purposes.

In serial it works great! Problem is I need to run this problem on multiple processors. I've checked out the UDF manual for this but it seems to have left me even more lost than when I started.

Having viewed quite a few posts on this site, I'm not sure if I even need to parallize this at all! However, it works fine in the GUI, and does not work at all when I submit the job for a multi-processor run.

For reference, here is the real gas code from the fluent Manuel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All,

This was simply a case of my not having my submit script save the .c file to the working folder. it was not necessary for this to be altered. Thought I'd post to this in case someone else was having a similar problem.

Hi Aeroman,

We had similar problems in parallel as well. We found a way for this by compiling the udf after reading the case and data files in your batch mode. You can use a journal file to define these commands and before starting calculations.

Hope this work with you as well.

Hey Sree,

Yes, I didn't mention that part but I also used the journal file to compile and impliment it.

Thanks again for the reply.

I don't know that is wrong, could you please help
