Is it possible to assign values to a user-defined-memory using a defined "profile" in Fluent? Or is it only possible via UDF?

TIA

I don't think so, and a define_profile would still be in a UDF (it was last time I checked).

If you explain what you want to do, maybe we can help more (but the Fluent forum would be better suited)

Thanks for the reply.

I think you are interpreting my question backwards. I don't want to define a profile with a UDF; I was asking if the only way to define a UDM is through a UDF. I already have a profile text file, which I can import and use anywhere, but i want to plot it, and the only way I can think to plot the contour plot is by using the profile as a UDM, since Fluent lets you plot the UDM.

Ok, I misinterpeted profile with a define_profile.

I don't know/remember if this (UDM) is your only chance to plot profiles (but I'm pretty sure it isn't).

UDF is the only way I know to fill a udm, but maybe you should check your version manual.

Thanks for the reply.

I checked the manual, and it doesnt look good...

Check out this thread for some maybe helpful hints.

It's a unconventional question because once you're in udf land, you can just read the profile file directly using programming and not relying on a scheme command.

Also. In the future. Please don't double/triple/quadruple/quintuple post because now you get conflicting solutions on different threads when they all could've been in one place.

.

I think you misunderstood my question... I want a solution that doesnt involve UDFs, since the whole point of using a profile is to avoid using UDFs.

When I read a title of how to assign a PROFILE to a UDM, I assumed it was about assigning a profile to a UDM. Sorry I didn't sift through your other dozen threads to discover that this entire time it was never about getting a UDM, you were just trying to make a plot of a PROFILE. Anyway it appears your query was answered (in another thread). My rant is unironically necessary to bring closure to this query because someone in a few years will google this same post and rage about why it was never answered and how unhelpful this community is.

It WAS about assigning a profile to a UDM using the profile function of Fluent without having to use a UDF.

This thread focused specifically on that, whereas the other thread focused on the main problem I wanted to solve.

This is 1D plot; i need contour plot
