Hey Guys,

I am facing similar problems to many people on this thread. I have followed Ivan's steps. My knowledge in using the Command Prompt is very limited.

Can anyone point me in the right directions on how to navigate on the MS-DOS windows to the working directory?

Many thanks in advance

Peter

Afternoon,

That thread has helped me greatly. Am I right in understanding that Microsoft Visual 2008 C++ is a 32-bit compiler, and will not compile 64-bit functions? I am running Fluent 6.3.26 64-bit on Windows 7. Will this be an issue for me?

Currently I am using compiled functions (in tutorials I have downloaded). I can build them but not load them. The error that I get is that Fluent can not find the libudf file. I have tried changing the library name in the working folder, but still I am not having any success.

Thanks again for all your help.

I am not sure about that, but for some reason, it didnt work. It is only wiht 2010 that I got the UDFs to run.

I will get Visual 2010. Re run the problem and let you all know.

Cheers

Really simple answer to this, my lack of experience did not help me. You must launch Fluent through your command promt. Simply type in fluent in you command promt and continue as normal. Thanks for the help guys!

Download Visual from the link above. Also ensure your C Source file is in the same folder level as your mesh/cas and libudf folder, in your working folder.

Hello Karthick,

I'm having a nightmare with trying to compile a UDF.

I'm a beginner about dealing with UDFs on Windows-based Fluent 2D.

When I load the UDF, I get the following message:

- "nmake" not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I've seen out there that it is an issue related to the interaction between Fluent and Visual Studio To solve it, during the installation process, one needs to select the "register environment variables" option. However, I haven't seen such option during Fluent installation. This is what I've done step by step:

1) Install full Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.

2) Install Windows-based Fluent.

3) Go to "Start" --> "All Programs" --> "Fluent Inc Products" --> "Fluent 6.3.26" --> "Set Environment"

After doing all that, I still couldn't load my UDF. Same error message.

Then I downloaded nmake.exe and installed at \Fluent.Inc\fluent6.3.26\ntx86 and also at WINDOWS\system32, I opened a command prompt and executed nmake. After doing all this, back on Fluent I was able to get rid of the nmake error message.

However I now get another error message:

Opening library "libudf"...
Error: open_udf_library: (...)

I installed Visual Studio 2008 and I didn't say at any step to whether path to be set or not. But after doing the "Set Enviroment" thing I checked that PATH is at ntx86.

Would you please let me know what I'm missing?

Many thanks beforehand,

Ivan.

i am facing the same problem..and getting nightmares too...nmake error is corrected. the next error simply implies that the object file is not created at all. that means the c code is not complied.
