Hi,
I'm new to writing UDFs for Fluent 6.3.

I am trying to write a UDF for a Velocity Inlet boundary condition. For every time step, I want this boundary condition to be updated to a new temperature (same velocity). The new updated value should be a function of the average temperature of all cell faces in another boundary that is updated with a new calculated value at every time step.

Summary of what i want to write: T1(t) = f ( face_temp_average( T2(t) ) )

I do not know what define macro I should be using for the temperature update, how I can get the average of all faces on a face thread, and finally how I can call the values of another boundary when writing a UDF for a boundary condition.

I would reaeaealy appriciate it if someone can give me some help on this. Even some names of the macros I should be learning about helps.

Thanks
