Hi folks,nI am creating my first UDF and I have a problem, I do not understand how to read the face wall temperature n. Can anyone help me?. The code is almost ready except how to input this temperature. Many thanks in advance.nPS: If i set up temperature at 500 K all calculus are ok, but I would need to read the real one!nn#include udf.hn#define QMAX 407400 /* W/m2 */n#define EEPSILON 0.1n#define TAU 5.67e-8n#define T_AIRE 300n#define H_AIRE 40 /* convective coef.W/m2K */nn/* profile for heat flux*/nDEFINE_PROFILE(heatflux_profile, t, i)nn{n/* variable declaration */nreal centroide[ND_ND]; /* vector position */nreal x;nreal y;nface_t f;ncell_t cell;nreal seno; /* heat distribution */nreal T_p; /* wall temperature */begin_f_loop(f, t)n{nF_CENTROID(centroide,f,t);nx=centroide[0]; /* valor del cntroide en la componente x */ny=centroide[1]; /* valor del cntroide en la componente y */nseno=y/sqrt((x*x)+(y*y));T_p = 500; /* I NEED TO FIND THE FUNCTION IN ORDER TO READ THE WALL TEMPERATURE, DO NOT WHY F_T(f,t) DOES NOT WORK, it should be  T_p = F_T(f,t) */nnif (0 < y)n{nF_PROFILE(f,t,i)=(QMAX*seno)-TAU*((T_p*T_p*T_p*T_p )-(EEPSILON*T_AIRE*T_AIRE*T_AIRE*T_AIRE))-H_AIRE*(T_ p-T_AIRE);nn} else {nF_PROFILE(f,t,i)=0;n}n}nend_f_loop(f, t)n}n

Hello,nLooks like there are a few typos in your UDF syntax such as 'Centroide' Please see some of the UDFs available in this link below. You should be able to use F_T(f,t)nSince you are using an analytical expression, you should also be able to use Fluent expressions here. nThank you.nKarthikn

Hi, thanks for the feedback, the problem was the mesh, below is the final UDF (and it works)n#include udf.hn#define QMAX 407400 /* W/m2 */n#define EEPSILON 0.9n#define TAU 5.67e-8n#define T_AIRE 300n#define H_AIRE 40nn/* profile for heat flux*/nDEFINE_PROFILE(receiver, t, i)nn{n /* declaración de variables */nreal centroide[ND_ND]; /* vector de posición */nreal x;nreal y;nface_t f;ncell_t cell;nreal seno; /* para meter la distribucion de calor */nreal T_p; /* temperatura de la pared */begin_f_loop(f, t)n{nF_CENTROID(centroide,f,t);nx=centroide[0]; /* valor del cntroide en la componente x */ny=centroide[1]; /* valor del cntroide en la componente y */nseno=y/sqrt((x*x)+(y*y));T_p=F_T(f,t); if (0 < y)n{ntF_PROFILE(f,t,i)=(QMAX*seno)-TAU*((T_p*T_p*T_p*T_p)-(EEPSILON*T_p*T_p*T_p*T_p))-H_AIRE*(T_p-T_AIRE);ntn} else {ntF_PROFILE(f,t,i)=0;n}n}n

Perfect !! Good to know!n
