UDF compilation error solved
 

I spent some times after i get this error message in fluent while compiling :

# Generating udf_names.c because of makefile UDF_V7_Fouling.obj
udf_names.c
udf_names.c(6) : error C2449: found '{' at file scope (missing function header?)
udf_names.c(32) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end-of-file found

Strangely it works well in interpreted mode.

It was due to the curly-bracket positionned at the end of Define_Property

DEFINE_PROPERTY(water_viscosity, cell, thread) {

If the curly-bracket is on the next line the compilation is OK :

DEFINE_PROPERTY(water_viscosity, cell, thread)
{

It is because fluent uses "sed" to extract the function names.

The definition should match the regular expression pattern:
