Sinusoidal motion udf
 

hey guys
i have a problem but i am not so sure if it is due to my fluent or udf or other things
i want to find the pressure distribution around an airfoil (which has a sinusoidal motion) in a water tank. i have written the following code in C:

#include "udf.h"
#define om 0.62831853
#define pi 3.1415926
#define scale 0.1612
/*
x(t)= 2c*cos(wt)
alpha(t)= pi/2 + pi/2*sin(wt)
*/
DEFINE_CG_MOTION(vel, omega, time)
{
real b,u;
u = -2*scale*om*sin(om*time);
b = pi/2*om*cos(om*time);
vel[0] = u;
vel[1] = 0.0;
vel[2] = 0.0;
omega[0] = 0.0;
omega[1] = 0.0;
omega[2] = b;
}

but in fluent after building it in udf compiler, in loading time i am recived the following error;

Opening library "code"...
Error: open_udf_library: The system cannot find the file specified.
Error Object: ()

someone please help me
thank you in advance

If you use Windows as I suspect modify the files view menu in order to let you see the extensions of the known file types.

Do

thank you, i am using windows and even i have had unmarked the "hide extension for known file type" previously.
and still the problem exists.

Hi,

did fluent comile this udf without an error?
If you take a look at the manual, the DEFINE_CG_MOTION is defined the following way:

#define DEFINE_CG_MOTION(name, dt, vel, omega, time, dtime)


So I guess you forgot some variables. And you also didn't give a name, so how did you hook the udf in fluent?

oops thank you but i think i pasted the wrong version of my c file here, in the main version i wrote as follow
DEFINE_CG_MOTION(pilo, dt, vel, omega, time, dtime)
indeed i have put name and other necessary variable!
but still i have the same problem!

Ok,

and do you have all your files in one directory and is there a directory named "code" after compiling?

It sounds as if some environment variables are not set properly.
Did you ever use another UDF before?

cheers

rotation around z axis
 

hi everybody...
i am trying to simulate peristaltic pump and for this i need to write an udf file to rotate on of edges about z axis,i will be thanfull if u could help me with this problem.
thank you in advance..
