Hi, I am trying to compile a UDF but getting the following error:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 414: character maps to <undefined>:
File "Q:\Users\XY\YZ\clear\win64\3ddp_node\SConstru ct", line 176:
generate_udf_source(t,s,env)
File "Q:\Users\XY\YZ\clear\win64\3ddp_node\SConstru ct", line 87:
for line in f:
File "C:\PROGRA~1\ANSYSI~1\v222\fluent/../commonfiles/CPython/3_7/winx64/Release/python\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23:
return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_t able)[0]

After googling I found this is related to python and changing the file encoding to UTF-8 might solve the problem.

Here is a link to the stackOverFlow answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...on-y-character

I am using the built-in solver. I checked the whole file by commenting out most part to see which line is giving me the error. The error is with the whole file.
I have been able to compile other UDFs in the same computer. So my question is how to solve this error in Fluent?

Thank you

The encoding can be changed by opening the file in Notepad.

Open file -> Save As -> Change style to ANSI -> Save.

Do not resave in Rich Text Format as suggested by Notepad.
