udf_names.c(7) : error C2059: syntax error : '}'
 

Dear All,
I just switched to windows7 64bit. I have Fluent 6.3.2 (64bit) installed on my PC with VisualC++2010 Pro RC. and the environment path variables set for VC++ and Fluent.
For a test case I want to run the fluent tutorial model for multiphase flows (VOF). Although I am using SKD to run FLUENT, at the time of compiling the FLUENT UDF, these warnings and errors appear. would you please give me some hints,
Thanks
M

Done.

Make sure the udf_names.c has been created correctly.

Dear Fox
How can I check that?
I followed the commands in makefile and it looks like that it doesnt' understand
the line below,
@sed -n "s/^DEFINE_\([_A-Z]*\)( *\([_a-zA-Z0-9]*\).*)/\{\"\2\", (void (*)())\2, UDF_TYPE_\1\},/p" $(SOURCES) >> $@
But I dont' know what should I do?

Can u post the UDF definition, or send it to me?

The UDF file,
 

Here is the standard UDF,

#include "udf.h"
#include "sg.h"
#include "sg_mphase.h"
#include "flow.h"
#define PI 3.141592654

DEFINE_PROFILE(membrane_speed, /* function name */
th , /* thread */
nv) /* variable number */
{
face_t f;
real x[ND_ND];
real f_time = RP_Get_Real("flow-time");
begin_f_loop (f,th)
{
F_CENTROID(x,f,th);
if (f_time<=10e-6)
{F_PROFILE(f,th,nv) = 3.58*cos(PI*f_time/30e-6);
}
else
F_PROFILE(f,th,nv) = 0;
}
end_f_loop (f,th)
}

Sed cannot understand your UDF.

Delete the useless comments between UDF name and its parameters, and put them in a single line.

Use the following format.

udf_names.c(7) : error C2059: syntax error : '}'
 

hi everybody...
i have same error friends,i've defined an udf file and when i compile it,fluent shows me this error message...
thank u in advance:)

you cannot have any spaces in DEFINE_UDFNAME(a,b,x) syntax

UDF error
 

I have the same problem and do not know what to do. Please help me.

Done.

The Fluent manual has the line:

Your code has the line:

That missing space could be very important.

Thanks for your answer.
But it can not help with the missing space added and the same reply is showed as this:
udf_names.c(7) : error C2059: 语法错误:“}”
udf_names.c(8) : warning C4034: sizeof 返回 0

Can you show the content of udf_names.c?

Solution
 

Recently, I wrote a similar code and the same error:
udf_names.c(7) : error C2059: syntax error : '}'
udf_names.c(8) : warning C4034: sizeof returns 0
happened to me. It turned out there is a spece before "DEFINE_PROFILE(membrane_speed,th,nv)". After deleting the space, the code complied smoothly.:)
