Accessing C_DUDX -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

June 30, 2005, 04:54	Accessing C_DUDX	#1
CC Guest Posts: n/a	Hi All, I'm trying to access C_DUDX, C_DUDY, etc from within a UDF. I have worked out that if I try to use these macros straight after loading a case all I get is 0.0, but if I provoke Fluent into using the velocity derivative through the GUI (i.e. by clicking 'calculate' in the contour plot menu with dx-velocity/dx selected) then I get useful values. Does anybody know how I can provoke Fluent to determine these values without me having to intervene through the GUI? Also, does anybody know how C_DUDX and D_U_G[0] differ? Thanks, Chris
