You can use the UDF Library Manager dialog box to load and unload multiple shared libraries in Ansys Fluent.
For more information, see the following sections:
To load a UDF library in Ansys Fluent, open the UDF Library Manager dialog box (Figure 5.6: The UDF Library Manager Dialog Box).
Parameters & Customization → User Defined Functions Manage...
In the UDF Library Manager dialog box, type the name of the shared library in the Library Name field and click (Figure 5.6: The UDF Library Manager Dialog Box).
A message will be displayed in the console providing the status of the load process. For example:
Opening library "libudf"... Library "libudf\win64\3d_node\libudf.dll" opened inlet_x_velocity Done.
indicates that the shared library named libudf was successfully
loaded and contains one UDF named inlet_x_velocity
. In the
UDF Library Manager dialog box, the library name (for example,
libudf
) will be added under UDF Libraries.
Repeat this step to load additional libraries.
Note: After you have loaded the UDF, if you click the button again, the UDF will be unloaded, compiled again, and then reloaded. This is useful if you decide to revise a UDF after it is loaded and want to use the revised version.
To unload a UDF library in Ansys Fluent, open the UDF Library Manager dialog box (Figure 5.7: The UDF Library Manager Dialog Box).

In the UDF Library Manager dialog box, highlight the shared library
name (for example, libudf

After it is unloaded, the library (for example, libudf
) will be
removed from the UDF Libraries list in the dialog box. Repeat this step
to unload additional libraries.
