I has some experience of using user fortran in cfx4.4 and just started to use user fortran in cfx5. Really have hard time to switch.

Right now I am trying to extract fluid "Dynamic viscosity" in user fortran and do some modification. I tried with user_getvar, but running cfx5mkext always says "unresolved external symbol _USER_GETVAR@36.....". Do I miss something here, e.g., missing include some .h files? My sample code is below.

Can someone send me a user_getvar example code? Thanks!

My email stonebrook2003@hotmail.com

#include "cfx5ext.h" dllexport(myviscosity)

SUBROUTINE myviscosity (

& NLOC, NRET, NARG, RET, ARGS, CRESLT, CZ,DZ,IZ,LZ,RZ )

#include "MMS.h" #include "stack_point.h"

INTEGER NLOC,NARG,NRET C

CHARACTER CRESLT*(*) C

REAL ARGS(NLOC,NARG), RET(NLOC,NRET) C

INTEGER IZ(*)

CHARACTER CZ(*)*(1)

DOUBLE PRECISION DZ(*)

LOGICAL LZ(*)

REAL RZ(*)

C ------------------------------

__stack_point__ PVISCOSITY

end

C Send any diagnostic messages via master process.

CALL MESAGE( 'WRITE','Hello World!' ) C C Initialise RET(1:NLOC*NRET) to zero.

CALL SET_A_0( RET, NLOC*NRET ) C C Copy first argument ARGS(1:NLOC,1) to RET(1:NLOC,1).

CALL SET_A_B( RET, ARGS, NLOC ) C C Set success flag.

CRESLT = 'GOOD'

CALL USER_GETVAR ('DYNAMIC VISCOSITY',CRESLT,PVISCOSITY,

+ CZ,DZ,IZ,LZ,RZ)

C LATER

END

Dear Adma,

I have always used the following call

CALL USER_GETVAR(User_Name, CRESLT, pVAR, CZ,DZ,IZ,LZ,RZ)

I never hardcode the User_Name in the arg list, and in your case it should say 'Dynamic Viscosity' since ANSYS CFX solver is case sensitive to user names.

The @36 in the compiler message indicates that the summation of the types of all arg in the list takes 36 bytes. It seems as if you have 9 arguments of 4 bytes each: - CZ,DZ,IZ,LZ,RZ are each 4 bytes for a partial sum of 20bytes - pVISCOSITY is 4 bytes - CRESLT is 4 bytes - For 'DYNAMIC VISCOSITY' I have no idea.

Good luck

Thank you first for your kind reply. I keep having the problem I described. I guess I must make a very simple mistake and I am just blind to it.

Would you send me or post here a short CFX user fortran code using USER_GETVAR? I think I will know where is my problem if I can see a correct sample.

Thanks a lot!

just found my problem, missing something in the early part of the code...better be more careful. Ready for next step.

Thanks for help!
