Compile UDF

Alkulkarni · July 29, 2009, 00:05

Dear All,

I am trying compile UDF from tutorial in Fluent. The error message displayed is as below

Deleted old libudf\win64\2d\libudf.dll
1 file(s) copied.
(system "copy C:\Fluent.Inc\fluent6.3.26\src\makefile_nt.udf libudf\win64\2d\makefile")
1 file(s) copied.
(chdir "libudf")()
(chdir "win64\2d")()
'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Does anyone have idea to solve it?

Thank you,
Abhijit Kulkarni

I had the same problem bofore. When I check the UDF manual, it is noted that we have install microsoft visual studio to compile UDF.

I have installed Microsoft visual studio on both 64 bit and 32 bit machine. The window for commond prompt is not available.

Try opening fluent from a Visual studio terminal, something like:
start -> All Programs -> Visual Studio -> Visual studio Tools ...

This will ensure that the environment is properly configured and that the Visual Studio compilers are available to fluent.

launch fluent using the standard command line options, something like:
fluent 3ddp -64

If you want 64-bit you should open the 64-bit Visual Studio terminal.

Let me know if this works!
