I use udf for membrane calculations.

I want to use face loops to store values ​​in udm consecutively.

When the code in serial mode is calculated in parallel mode, an error occurs.

If you check the values ​​stored in udm, a value of 0 is found.

I converted the example of the customer portal to code it.
How can you convert this code to parallel use?

I have already tried it.

CODE is calculated, but 0 value is stored in the process of being stored in UDM.

even
C_UDMI (c1, tc1, UDM_MASS_H2_SOURCE) = 2;
0 is also found.

I tried this code, but it is useless. Picture 1 shows the picture that succeeded in the serial mode, Picture 2 shows the error that failed in the parallel mode.

in your code you use c_loop once in DEFINE_INIT macro
Code:
thread_loop_c(tc1,d)
{
begin_c_loop(c1,tc1)
{
C_UDMI(c1,tc1,UDM_NEIGHBOUR_C) = 0.0;
C_UDMI(c1,tc1,UDM_NEIGHBOUR_TC) = 0.0;
C_UDMI(c1,tc1,UDM_MASS_SOURCE) = 0.0;
}
end_c_loop(c1,tc1)
}
0 everywhere, thats why you have 0 values.

Code:
C_UDMI (c1, tc1, UDM_MASS_H2_SOURCE) = 2;
what is it? UDM_MASS_H2_SOURCE is not defined

put the whole code you are using (testing)

go deep in ansys fluent customiztion manual,
because you are interested in faces take a look into
Code:
begin_f_loop_int
begin_f_loop_ext
besides this (faces issue) i dont see, why your code should be modified to run in parallel, it should work in both regimes

Hello AlexanderZ.

I completed my code by converting the reference (UDF69) found in the customer portal. test_question is my entire code (test).

(After initialization) This code can be computed in serial mode, but in parallel mode, it cannot be computed with the following error.

PHP Code:

I do not know why. I tried the RP_node code and the principal face_p code, but it is useless.

This problem has been blocked for three months. I ask for help.

did you define enough UDMIs in fluent GUI?

problem my comes from second loop in INIT macro
Code:
  thread_loop_c(tc2,d)
  {
	  begin_c_loop(c2,tc2)
	  {
c2,tc2 are not defined, actually in your code there is no different between c1,tc1 and c2,tc2

Yes. I defined 23 UDM in GUI.

c2 and tc2 are defined.

PHP Code:
DEFINE_INIT(init_function,d)
{
  
Thread *tc1, *tc2;
  
Thread *tf1, *tf2;
  
cell_t c1c2;
  
face_t f1f2;
  
real   f_c1[3], f_c2[3]; 
And tc1 and tc2 are obtained by the following values.
PHP Code:
 tf1 Lookup_Thread(d,WALLSIDE1);                            
 
tf2 Lookup_Thread(d,WALLSIDE2); 
This code is from UDF69.

"mpt_accept error accept failed no such file or directory"
As soon as I pressed run calculation after initialization, I got the above error.
This is some parallel / mpi error. I can not resolve this problem yet ..

best regards

I am also working with the same example of UDF69.c . Can you please help me with this. I am also getting the same error. How have you resolved this problem?

Thanks in advance.

One reason could be UDM initialization. UDF69.c does it during initialization, however, if user forgot to hook DEFINE_INIT function, then it will lead to error. But usually, this would lead to segmentation violation. So, the other reason is parallelization. The code is quite old and not parallelized. Current version of Fluent runs in parallel even if you select serial (until you start with -t0), so, you need to parallelize it. Non-parallelized codes do not always cause syntactical problems, but logical ones, i.e., those run but give wrong results. However, sometimes, it may cause errors as well.

first of all show the code you are using
code above has some problems with parallelization, at least:
Code:
C_UDMI(c1,tc1,UDM_MASS_SOURCE) = -mass_flux / cell_volume1;
      C_UDMI(c2,tc2,UDM_MASS_SOURCE) = +mass_flux / cell_volume2;
put messages inside code to define the line, which leads to error

simplify code for debugging, later add necessary functionality

I am hooking the DEFINE_INIT and DEFINE_ADJUST function in the fluent, but still the error is there. I am new to UDF writing, Can you please help me with how to parallelize a UDF or any of the UDF parallelization examples you can provide. That will be a great help for me.

Check it in Serial first. I hope you are compiling it because it will not work as Interpreted code. If it works in Serial, then parallelization could be done. However, if you get some error in Serial mode, then parallelization may still be required, but only after the other issues have been resolved. And if you get an error during Serial Compilation or execute, please copy the whole error message.

Hi Vinerm,

I don't know how to run this code in serial. I am using ANSYS 2020R1. I have compiled the UDF successfully and also hooked the function but the fluent is exiting abruptly after the initialization of the case. Please help me in this regard.


Thanks in advance.

Start Fluent with -t0 as option.
