      IMPORTANT NOTE: The Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition Compiler is not officially supported. In order to compiler UDFs using this compiler you will need to download a modified udf.bat file. It is attached to this Solution called udf-batch-file-fixed-for-2012. 1. Download the modified batch file. 2. In C:Program FilesANSYS Incv145fluentntbinwin64 rename the original udf.bat to original-udf.bat. Replace it with the one downloaded and rename the downloaded file, udf.bat to the same directory.
