Hi cfd-online

I have a very very sensible unsteady simulation and it must run with small time step size.

I want to use DEFINE_DELTAT and set Deltat function of some cell variable in a domain.

for example
if max Temp < T1 then Deltat=a
if max Temp >= T1 then Deltat=b
if max Liquid fraction > 0 then Deltat=c
.
.
.


is it possible to do that?

I think "Looping Over Cell Threads in a Domain (thread_loop_c)" can help me if I use that in DEFINE_DELTAT macro.

thank you

my udf is:

Red number is line number in udf commands .

DEFINE_DELTAT(mydeltat, domain)
{
	real time_step;
	real T_max=0.0 ;
	real T1=303.0 ;
	real T2=300.5 ;
	real T3=304.0 ;
	Thread t;
    cell_t c;
54	thread_loop_c(t,domain)
	{
56		begin_c_loop(c,t)
		{
58			temp = C_T(c,t);
			if (temp > T_max || T_max == 0.0) T_max = temp;
		}
		end_c_loop(c,t)
	}
	if (T_max < T1) time_step = 1.0;
	else time_step = 0.00001;
	return time_step;
}

error after build in compiler window:

Done.

whats wrong in udf?

Instead of making "t" a thread variable, in

Thread t;

you should make it a pointer to a thread variable:

Thread *t;

ok , Its work
