Hello all!

I am trying to write a UDF to export data for species mass fraction concentration gradient *along the axis of symmetry* of my 2D axisymmetric model.

I can get the data to output for all of the nodes in the 2D domain, but I cannot figure out how to output data only for the specific zone I need.

Right now it exports the species mass fraction gradient vector as one long vector for all nodes, with no indication as to which data point came from which node, or even which zone.

Does anyone know how to selectively output data from just a single zone? Or how to determine where each data point is coming from?

Thank you very much.

[I created my UDF by adapting the pressures_to_file.c UDF in the Fluent V12 users guide, if that helps.]

Thanks again!


This is the code: (I tried just substituting zone_ID for FLUID_ID, but that didn't work, so it's commented out now. The code leaves the option for the serial, node or host versions to run. In this case, the serial version runs.)
