ANSYS Fluent Using User-Defined Functions (UDFs)
Overview
User-defined functions (UDFs) allow you to customize ANSYS Fluent and can significantly enhance its capabilities. The ANSYS Fluent UDF training will provide you with the skills to make use of this powerful capability.
Learning Outcome
Upon successful completion of this course the student will:
-
Learn the basic structure of UDFs
-
Understand the different kinds of macros used to access solver variables
-
Be able to hook their UDF to most models that are available in ANSYS Fluent
-
Be able to write UDFs for custom boundary conditions, source terms and material properties
-
Learn how to use UDFs to define input and output parameters and report definitions
-
Learn what is required to write UDFs to execute correctly in parallel
-
Learn necessary concepts and macros for applying UDFs in multiphase flow, including UDFs for the Discrete Phase Model (DPM)
Prerequisites
-
A technical education and background in fluid mechanics and heat transfer is recommended but not mandatory. An engineering degree is not required.
-
Completion of the Introduction to ANSYS Fluent course is required.
-
Experience with ANSYS Fluent is strongly recommended.
-
Experience running ANSYS Fluent and some prior experience with a programming language, preferably a C-based language is essential. The introduction to C itself is very firm during this course. The focus is on the usage of Fluent macros embedded in a C program. UDFs are written in C90.
-
For the workshops a supported C-compiler is required. A text editor with user-defined syntax highlighting is recommended but not required.
Target Audience: Fluids Engineers, Combustion Engineers, Thermal Engineers and Aerodynamics Engineers
Teaching Method: Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge.A training certificate is provided to all attendees who complete the course.
Learning Options: Training materials for this course are available with a ANSYS Learning Hub Subscription. If there is no active public schedule available, private training can be arranged. Please contact us.
