Default problem with very simple ufd

Hi!

I have a problem with a very simple udf. I have a cuboid volume, and i want about a quater of it to have a very high viscous resistant.

I wrote a simple udf that defines the resistant, but it dosn't work... the flow through the cuboid is straight where it should be rederacted by the high resistance zone.

That is my udf:

#include "udf.h"

DEFINE_PROFILE(vis_res,t,i)

{

real x[ND_ND];

real a;

cell_t c;

begin_c_loop(c,t)

{

C_CENTROID(x,c,t);

if( x[0] < -150)

if( x[1] < 1200)

if( x[2] < -250){

a = 10000000000;

}

else

a = 0;

F_PROFILE(c,t,i) = a;

}

end_c_loop(c,t)

}

are the values of the centroid x correct? they seem very large to be in metres

the volume is defined in mm. The cuboid is 300(x) by 150(z) by 600(y) mm. Its center is at -150(x), -250(z), 1200 (y) mm.

So the values I define are right in the middle of the volume.

The grid is also scaled in mm.

I noticed now, that even when I change the value for "a" after the else statement, there is no change in the simulation.

What is the problem??

Ralf

The UDF documentation clearly states that all units in UDFs must be in SI, so length is in metres.

Hi!

Thanks for that! I think, thats it! The simulation shows more or less the results, i expected, but it is very slow...

Thanks anyway...

Ralf
