How to change the wall thickness with UDFs?

husywfl · September 14, 2015, 09:08

Hi everyone,

How can I change the wall thickness with UDFs? As the wall thickness is different in every cell face.

Hope someone can give me some tips.

Thanks in advance.

I think the only way to change it besides manually is using it as a parameter.

Thank you so much for your reply!

I've never used the parameter. Is it possible to solve the problem? As the wall thickness of every cell surface on the wall was stored in the UDMs. Can I read the UDMs with the parameter?

Can you help me please? Thank you!

I never used parameters as well. I think you can get the parameter value to use in your UDF, but unfortunately I cant help you with that.

Thank you all the same for your suggestion. I'll try it and hope someone else can help me.
