Unhappy How to create dynamic zone with text commands in Fluent 6.3?

I saw an old post having exactly the same problem, but I have some further information.

The text command for creating a dynamic zone is define/dynamic-zones/create, then a bunch of information is required. I am using the information in the old post here:

Quote:
/define/dynamic-zones> creat

Zone name/id [] 17

motion type: (stationary rigid-body deforming user-defined)

enter motion type: [rigid-body] rigid-body

profile/udf [] MovingZone::libudf

cg location x (m) [1.0499994]

cg location y (m) [0]

cg location z (m) [0]

cg orientation theta-x (deg) [0]

cg orientation theta-y (deg) [0]

cg orientation theta-z (deg) [0]

Warning: incorrect cg motion UDF movingzone::libudf on zone 17 (assuming no motion)
MovingZone::libudf is exactly the udf name in the GUI's dropdown list. I also tried these combinations, none of them work:
Code:
libudf
MovingZone
libudf::MovingZone
MovingZone::libudf
libudf.dll::MovingZone
MovingZone::libudf.dll
libudf.MovingZone
libudf/MovingZone
[MovingZone::libudf]
Now my barren brain can not even find a possible combination.

Anyone know how to correctly input the profile/udf name? You can save at least two poor people here.

Thank you very much for your reading and help.

BTW: The FLUENT 14 on my campus computer seems all right. I guess this problem only exist in ancient FLUENT versions.

Thank you very much for the reply. Although this approach doesn't work, at least this is some new idea.

Actually, the waring message automatically transfer my input to lowercase, I guess maybe FLUENT is not case sensitive?

Oh no! Four months later, I finally understand your meaning: change the function name in udf file to lowercase and then also input lower case in FLUENT! Yes, this approach works!

I think FLUENT transfer all input in TUI into lower case, but keep the original case from UDF. So they never match. This is a good reminder that always using lower case in FLUENT anywhere.
