hi everyone, i was trying to write an equation into udf but what i got is line 1 parse error... i am new to fluent and the udf thing, so here is my equation,

u=170 * (1 + tanh((25-y)/2.25))

and the udf i worte is based on the tutorial file i found in fluent.... here is the udf i wrote...

DEFINE_PROFILE(mass_flow_velocity,thread,index)

{

real x[ND_ND];

real y;

face_t f;

begin_f_loop(f,thread)

{

F_CENTROID(x,f,thread);

y = x[1];

F_PROFILE(f,thread,index) = 170.*(1.+tanh((25.-y)/2.25));

}

end_f_loop(f,thread)

}

can anyone correct it for me??

thanks alot...

At the beginning of every UDF you write must be

#include "udf.h"

thanks for the advise~~

but it still comes out with the 'line 1: parse error'...

would it be something wrong with my udf itself?...wrong command or so..?

I think, your udf is correct, only #include "udf.h" is missing. What operator do you have at line 1 after you add #include 'udf.h'? Do you use interpreted or compiled UDF?

Here is the corrected udf - first line is #include "udf.h" :

#include "udf.h"

DEFINE_PROFILE(mass_flow_velocity,thread,index)

{

real x[ND_ND];

real y;

face_t f;

begin_f_loop(f,thread)

{

F_CENTROID(x,f,thread);

y = x[1];

F_PROFILE(f,thread,index) = 170.*(1.+tanh((25.-y)/2.25));

}

end_f_loop(f,thread)

}
