Using C_T_M1 in the UDf to access previous time step temperatures
|
Problem for resolution1: Proper use of C_T_M1 macro in the UDF to access previous time step temperature values. Problem for resolution 2: A case file that has UDF initialization and some other udfs with global variables being initialized through DEFINE_INITIALIZE is saved with data after running few iterations. If the case/data files are opened later and attempted to run further, give error message. To use C_T_M1 (c,t) macro, the uds must be activated. I am not too sure if this holds true for temperature only or all the variables, but I checked that without activating uds, C_T_M1 was returning junk values in the UDF. So I activated 1 uds equation. I have not assigned any material properties etc and am not soving the UDS equation either. But this resulted in the macro C_T_M1 returning correct values. I did not check for other *_M1 macros. The problem is due to initialization. This can be avoided by 1. read only the case file 2. initialize the solution 3 then read the saved data file 4 iterate further. |
