access profile data at UDF

Lilly · October 19, 2015, 03:18

Dear all,
I already posted this problem at the UDF forum, but nobody seems to have an idea there. So, I will have another try here.
I want to access the data of a normal velocity pattern/profile of the type
((velocity transient xx 1)
(time
)
(vel
)
)
via an UDF, since I want to create a parabolic velocity profile at the inlet at a transient simulation, which needs to use the maximal velocity at each time step.
Does anybody have any idea?
Thank you in advance!

Lilly

Why don't you just write the velocity data inside a vector in your UDF?
