Hi everyone,

I am trying to interpret a UDF file. I am doing this for the first time, so right before I go with my particular problem, I tried to add this simple UDF (an example which I took from the FLuent library) just to check whether or not FLuent will recognize it.

However, after I put my file in the adequate folder, browsed it and clicked interpret file, I get the following massage:

Error: /home/pmihailovski/velocity_profile.c: line 2: syntax error.

Can you help me with this line 2: syntax error?
I am sending you the well-known example of the code right below:

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Pavel



#include "udf.h"

DEFINE_PROFILE(velocity_profile,t,i)
{
real x[ND_ND]; /* this will hold the position vector */
real y;
face_t f;

begin_f_loop(f,t)
{
F_CENTROID(x,f,t);
y = x[1];
F_PROFILE(f,t,i) = 1.1e5 - y*y/(.0745*.0745)*0.1e5;
}
end_f_loop(f,t)
}

Hi,

did you try to compile the UDF instead of interpret it? Are you sure you have a compiler on your computer?

No, I haven't tried, thanks for the advice. Can you suggest any compiler, and give me a brief follow up in case you are familiar with the procedure?

looking forward to hearing from you again, cheers!

The code is fine. No syntax error.

Was this udf created on the same Linux machine? Seems like a "line ending" error.

If it was on a windows machine Dos2Unix might be of help. Or you could use notepad++ and save it with appropriate encoding.

I used a simple .tex document file. I am working on Windows. I'm gonna try with notepad++ and come back at you. Can you be a little bit more specific about this Dos2Unix treatment? Is it complex?

Thanks
