I am working with ANSYS Fluent 19.2 and VS2017 and when I try to build & load my UDF i get the following error:
The UDF library you are trying to load (libudf) is not compiled for 3d on the current platform (win64).
The system cannot find the file specified.
I found that when building the UDF it does not seem to complete the process. The message is as follows:
Error: The UDF library you are trying to load (libudf) is not compiled for parallel use on the current platform (win64).\n\nThe system cannot find the file specified.
\n\nC:\Users\theki\Desktop\ansys\pcm_files\dp0\FFF \Fluent\libudf\win64\3d_host\libudf.dll
Error Object: #f

I started Fluent in serial as well as parallel mode. Error exists in both mode.
Anyone got a clue what the problem might be?


Thanks in advance

Yes, you probably missed an error during compiling. Check my signature.

Done.



This is the error while building.

How do i deal with this error .

Thanks in advance

Read it.

It says there is a problem on line 9. You try to include stdio.h, but that file does not exist.

Why do you include that file? You don't need that in Fluent UDFs...

[Arjunsajith]

This is the code i have used for the UDF . I have not given stdio.h command but still it is having this error.

O, I see. I'm sorry, I did not look good enough, the error is in global.h, not in your code.

I guess that you have never compiled before with this installation? If so, it's good to mention that next time.

The problem is in the compiler installation (VS2017): it looks like not all files are included, or they are not configured good. This has nothing to do with your code.

The bad news: I have no idea how to fix this. Reinstall is the only thing I can think of.

Hi, Could you please let me know whether you solved the problem?

[Arjunsajith]

Sorry, I did not get any solution.

Thank you for your quick response. I found the solution. After installing Microsoft Visual Studio, the problem has been solved. Since I am using compiling, an external compiler such as Microsoft Visual Studio is required.



Thanks

[Krasa]

Please I am also having same issue which version of VS you have installed

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. This version works well with most of the ANSYS versions.

Hello,


for me with UDF I get bad results.

If I use constant paramters and Boussinesq aproximation it gives me good convergense with experimental setup.

Did you get any results, could you share with your study?

Best Regards.
