UDF Compile Error "not compiled for parallel use" in Ansys 2020R2

ham

Hi,

I am having issues trying to build and load a simple UDF. I have tested the UDF on another system and it works just fine using the in-built Fluent compiler. However, when I try to build and load it on my desktop using the in-built compiler I get a large list of error messages shown below. I have tried using visual studio instead of the in-built compiler but to no avail.

This section of messages appear when trying to build the UDF:

It's a glitch, CLANG in 2020Rx looks for the software in the C:/whatever/ansys.... folder and not in G: it's fixed in the 2021 release, we missed it in testing as we always install on the C: drive as per instructions from IT back when we got our first Windows machines and didn't know how to use them (most long term Fluent staff had UNIX boxes so Windows was a shock).

If the other machine is Windows copy the libudf over and see if you can just load it, assuming the autocompile behaves (ie doesn't do anything) it'll work. Make sure the other session is parallel & single/double precision too.
