1. Put both the C source file and header files (if used) into the same folder as the case and data files.

   1. If you're running from WorkBench, put these files into dp0\FFF\Fluent.
       

2. Open FLUENT.
    

3. Unload previously compiled UDFs first to avoid potential errors. (This step can be skipped if the compiled method in the case did not use a UDF.)

   1. Define > Define UDF > Manager, unload previous compiled UDF library.
       

4. Define >Define UDF > User Defined scaler, User Defined memory.  Give Fluent the correct number of UDS and UDMI if used. Just like what is done in interpreted method.

    

5. Build a UDF library: .

   1. Define-> Define UDF -> Compiled. Select the C source and header files, click “Build”. 

   2. Fluent will then

   will

   1. start compiling

   , errors are

   1. . Errors will be reported if there are any. Warnings can be ignored.
       

6. Then click “Load”, then all Click “Load”. All the variables that are returned, executionexecuted, initializationinitialized, or etc. should be shown that they are to be successfully loaded.
    

7. The rest is similar to interpreted method:
    

    

   NOTE: functions Functions from compiled UDF are differed distinguished by ending with the appendage ::libudf. Functions from interpreted method does methods do not have that.
