When I compile the UDF I get the following error:

Error: open_udf_library: The system cannot find the path specified

Please help.

RESOLUTION 1: You do not have a compiler installed. See the instructions below in the attached PDF files for both 32 bit and 64 bit version operating systems on the required Microsoft compilers and instructions for running FLUENT using these compilers.


RESOLUTION 2: You have a supported compiler installed, but the UDF did not compile. To verify this expand to the 'libudf' directory that was created. You should have a directory structure with the following files. If you do not then your UDF did not compile. Make sure you are starting FLUENT from the compiler command prompt window and that you are launching FLUENT in the directory where your .c file is located.
NOTE: If you are running on Windows 64 your directory will have a win64 directory instead of an ntx86 directory.

RESOLUTION 3: If you are running FLUENT in a network parallel, this error will be generated because the other computer(s) on the cluster cannot "see" the directory where the UDF is residing; meaning that the directory has not been shared.
