Thanks for replying amine

but the dynamic thread pointer that is dt is not passed by the solver in this case. because i dont want to access the velocity of the zone on which the UDF will be applied instead of that i want to access the velocity of some other dynamic zone. I guess you have not read my question properly.

Thanks for your time itoa

itoa,

I haven't yet done this myself, but intend to in the near future.

You may either use a global variable (an array seems most convenient) or a file. In either case, each of the zones 1 and 2 will enter a UDF where they put their own CG velocity in the variable or write it to the file. They can access other zones CG velocity by retrieving it from the array or reading it from the file.

Please let us know if this (or other idea) solved your problem.
