Unhappy Problem with implicit equations in UDF

Hi friends,

I am a new user of FLUENT and UDF programming...

I need a UDF that calculates a system of implicit equations, like:

x1=a+b*(x1+x2+x3)
x2=a+b*(x1+x2+x3)
x3=a+b*(x1+x2+x3)

I am sketching a code that, I think, could do this work. What I have is:

DEFINE_ADJUST(my_adjust, domain)
{
Thread *thread;
cell_t cell;

thread_loop_c(thread, domain)
{
begin_c_loop_all(cell, thread)
{
C_UDMI(cell,thread,0) = 1. + C_UDMI(cell,thread,3);
C_UDMI(cell,thread,1) = 2. + C_UDMI(cell,thread,3);
C_UDMI(cell,thread,2) = 3. + C_UDMI(cell,thread,3);
C_UDMI(cell,thread,3) = C_UDMI(cell,thread,0) + C_UDMI(cell,thread,1) + C_UDMI(cell,thread,2);
}
end_c_loop_all(cell, thread)
}
}

I am able to compile it in FLUENT and initialize it, but when I run the iterations the program simply crashes... so, I think I am doing something pretty wrong. Could anyone please help me on this?

Observation: This code is meant to be used in mass transfer in multiphase simulations.

Best Regards,
NPat

delete "_all"
just use "begin_c_loop"

Thank you, Sir.

I was able to get this code working, but it seems to be sensitive of the constants, since large values lead to what seems to be an infinity loop and FLUENT crashes. However, small values for the constants allow for good results.

Anyway, if someone else has another suggestion, it would be very approciated!

Just one more detail... The use of "begin_c_loop_all" or just "begin_c_loop" seems to don't have effect on the results.

It should be checked precisely.
