hi,
please can you help me .
i have a big problem , i have a udf function and i want to display it but i cab't .
i do'not know how?

please help me ?

Dear Rose,

To display your function, you can store desired function in a UDM and then you can simply display that. But before that, ensure whether you need UDF or not, maybe you can achieve your purpose via custom field function.

thank you amir,
i need udf and want to display it

best regards

hi,
if you want to write a udf to define a new variable for postprocessing, more than 90 percent you can do it with custom field function as Amir said. but if you can't use this, perhaps UDM is a good idea. can you send the udf you've written?

hi all,
thank you mohamed also amir for your help .
this is my udfs and i want to display it
#include <udf.h>
DEFINE_PROPERTY (dyn_surf_tension, cell, thread)
{
real dst;
real t=CURRENT_TIME;
dst=141121*pow(t,5) - 38978*pow(t,4) + 3817.5*pow(t,3) - 148.84*pow(t,2) +
1.3033*pow(t,1) + 0.071;
return dst;
}
and the second is
#include "udf.h"
#define GC 8.3145 /*gas constant*/
#define Ta 293 /*Temperature K*/
#define GAMMA 2.45e-10 /*adsorption mol/cm^2*/
#define MW 288.38 /*SDS Molecular weight*/
#define phase_2_ID 2
#define CV 3.4676 /*convert concentration from kg/m^3 to mmol/l*/
#define CST 0.001 /*convert dyn/cm to N/m*/
#define rho 370 /*SDS density kg/m^3*/
#define cmcst -0.25 /*change in surface tension w/ SDS conc. above critical
micelle concentration (dyn/cm)*/
DEFINE_PROPERTY(surften,cell,ti)
{
Domain *d = Get_Domain(phase_2_ID); /*domain pointer*/
Thread *tp; /*thread from phase identified by phase_2_ID*/
real yi; /*mass fraction*/
tp = Lookup_Thread(d,THREAD_ID(ti));
/*rho = C_R(cell,tp);*/ /*concentration is yi*rho (kg/m^3) */
yi = C_YI(cell,tp,0);
if (yi <= 0.0055)
{ C_UDMI(cell,tp,0) = (68.49-
log(exp(yi*rho*1000/MW))*(6.516+3.353*log(exp(yi*rho*1000/MW))
))*CST;
C_UDMI(cell,tp,1) = (6.516+6.706*log(exp(yi*rho*1000/MW)))/(GC*MW);

return (68.49-
log(exp(yi*rho*1000/MW))*(6.516+3.353*log(exp(yi*rho*1000/MW))))*CST;
/*Experimental results from Mysels*/
return (6.516+6.706*log(exp(yi*rho*1000/MW)))/(Ta*GC/MW); /*adsorption
mol*10^-10cm^2*/
} else
{ C_UDMI(cell,tp,0) = (cmcst*yi*rho*1000/MW+39)*0.001;
C_UDMI(cell,tp,1) = 0.25; /*constant adsorption*/
return (cmcst*yi*rho*1000/MW+39)*0.001;
/*return 0;*/
}
}
in the both i can not display it
and my second problem :how i canactivate a conncentartion?

thank you

Hi,

1) You're using a DEFINE_PROPERTY to update a variable each time step; so I'm not sure but you may have this variable in display->contour list!

2) You set 2 UDMs and stored desired data in them; so you can easily display them in contour list. (main prodcedure: first activate UDMs in FLUENT; then it's better to initialize them before use (with patching))

3) To activate a general concentration equation, you can use UDS template. (refer to manual)

Bests,

hi Amir,
yhank you for your réponse
i use Define_Property but i have not this variable in display----contour list
prehaps i know not interpert udf ?
best regards

Dear Rose,

I think you can find your variables in contour list if you check it carefully but if there isn't, it's not a problem; it's not depend on your method of implementation of UDF; interpret or compile !!! As I said before, use UDM for that.

Bests,

[rubis]

thank you Amir
i have used a UDM but i have a other problem is:
when i rau the iteration i have this message
chip-exec: dyn_surf_tension: wrong return type: void udf function expectedchip-exec: dyn_surf_tension: wrong return type: void udf function expectedchip-exec: dyn_surf_tension: wrong return type: void udf function expectedDone

Dear Rose,

I checked your first UDF and It didn't have any problem during iteration! (I compiled that)
I guess this issue may origin from finding binary files after implementation of UDF; in other words; you may change cas file path and libudf file is not in the appropriate folder. Try to compile/interpret it again in your new folder. (if you interpreted it; change UDF file path and do it again)

Bests,
