I am attempting to use user defined functions to define the Launder Sharma low reynolds number turbulence model. The source code has been written and published in a paper from 2013, I have made no adaptations to the code provided, however I am getting a host of errors related to unknown type names and undeclared identifiers. Before all the errors is a warning that the MSVC compiler ‘cl’ could not be found and may need to be installed separately with visual studio. I then attempted to trouble shoot the problem by trying the sample UDF code from the ansys user guide (included below), as a control guide. However I am still getting the compiler warning and 3 errors. Any suggestions on what could be causing the issue, is it a compiler issue as I think?<\/p>\n

Thank you<\/p>\n

Sample code from ANSYS User Guide:<\/div>\n
#include “udf.h”<\/div>\n
#define C2 100.0<\/div>\n
DEFINE_SOURCE(xmom_source, c, t, dS, eqn)<\/div>\n
{<\/div>\n
real x[ND_ND];<\/div>\n
real con, source;<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
C_CENTROID(x, c, t);<\/div>\n
con = C2 * 0.5 * C_R(c, t) * x[1];<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
source = -con * fabs(C_U(c, t)) * C_U(c, t);<\/div>\n
dS[eqn] = -2. * con * fabs(C_U(c, t));<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
return source;<\/div>\n
}<\/div>\n
