Course Overview
User Defined Functions (UDFs) allow you to customize Ansys Fluent® fluid simulation software and enhance its capabilities.
This course will teach you the advanced UDF topics, such as, user defined memory and scalars, running your UDFs in parallel and combining Ansys Workbench™ simulation integration platform Parameters and UDFs.
Prerequisites
- Previous experience with UDFs is required, including programming language, preferably C-based. The focus is on the usage of Fluent macros embedded in a C program. UDFs are written in C90.
- Basic experience of Ansys Fluent software is strongly recommended.
- Completion of the “Ansys Fluent Expressions Language” course is highly recommended. This course will give you a clear picture of customization tasks that can be easily accomplished with Expressions, without the need for deep programming knowledge and writing your own UDF.
- If you are new to UDFs, then we highly recommend you complete, “Getting Started with User Defined Functions (UDFs) in Ansys Fluent Software”.
Teaching Method
Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge. A major emphasis is placed on teaching by software demonstration and on the development of a solution to a design challenge from start to finish.
