I'm doing some research on GSHP now and I programmed a UDF to realise some unique function.The udf can be interpreted,however Fluent can't work and the error is
Error: Floating point error: invalid number
Error Object: ()
My udf is below

#include "udf.h"

#define gt 0.02
#define ID_outlet 16
#define cp 4200
#define density 1000

else
F_PROFILE(f,thread,index)=outlet_temp;
}
end_f_loop(f,thread)
}
Your effort will be appreciated.

I'm not a udf exper but maybe your problem is here?

a1=0.68843*pow(outlet_temp1,3)-0.05305*pow(outlet_temp1,2)+0.000583738*outlet_tem  p1+106.641;
a2=0.71527*pow(outlet_temp1,2)+0.0275*outlet_temp1  +64.91261;
b1=3.0098*pow(outlet_temp1,2)+0.04375*outlet_temp1  +100.24608;
b2=0.27943*pow(outlet_temp1,3)-0.01956*pow(outlet_temp1,2)+0.00069132*outlet_temp  1+99.88978;

If so, just remove the spaces..

Print and check a,b,a2,b2 any of these is going zero. Or outlet_temp1 is -ve. If these are fine try compiling in dp.

It's not that problem.

What does -ve mean?

[duri]

-ve means negative value.
