How to get "Center of Gravity Location" in a UDF in Fluent?

10 October 2017 1 2K Report

Hi there,

Center of Gravity Location is a parameter accessible in the 'Dynamic Mesh Zones' window inside the Fluent. I'd like to know what's the command to get "center of gravity location" in a UDF?

Thanks

Vigneshwaran Sankar

Hi,

Name (Arguments): DT_CG(dt)

Argument Type: Dynamic_Thread *dt

(The argument dt is a pointer to the dynamic thread structure )

This returns center of gravity vector.
