Which compiler are using? Is it a 64 bit one?

Hello,

Just to add to Amine's point - please double check if you have installed the correct compiler version. Please visit the following link and make sure you have the right compiler according to the version of Fluent you are using.

Please also confirm that you've not used any command or "odd" characters in the full path. The German B looking symbol for double s being one of the odd characters! 

[Max4]

What do you mean by " command" ? In the full path, there isn´t any "odd" characters.

Command characters would be   !  " £  $ = +   etc.   Fluent is/was designed for UNIX so some of the characters we use in Windows will have a different meaning and so shouldn't be used.  It's not that long ago that spaces in the directory structure caused problems. 

[Max4]

I haven´t such character in the full path. Do you think that a space in the directory structure could be the problem ? Directory structure of Ansys or VS ?

I have downloaded the same package and it is working fine. Just start Fluent from the cross command prompt and try to compile the UDF there. If it is not working I will suggest that you contact your IT.
