The macros listed in Table 3.2.20- 3.2.23 can be used to return real face variables in SI units. They are identified by the F_ prefix. Note that these variables are available only in the pressure-based solver. In addition, quantities that are returned are available only if the corresponding physical model is active. For example, species mass fraction is available only if species transport has been enabled in the Species Model dialog box in ANSYS FLUENT. Definitions for these macros can be found in the referenced header files (e.g., mem.h).
Face Centroid (
F_CENTROID)
The macro listed in Table 3.2.20 can be used to obtain the real centroid of a face. F_CENTROID finds the coordinate position of the centroid of the face f and stores the coordinates in the x array. Note that the x array is always one-dimensional, but it can be x[2] or x[3] depending on whether you are using the 2D or 3D solver.
The ND_ND macro returns 2 or 3 in 2D and 3D cases, respectively, as defined in Section 3.4.2. Section 2.3.15 contains an example of F_CENTROID usage.
Face Area Vector (
F_AREA)
F_AREA can be used to return the real face area vector (or `face area normal') of a given face f in a face thread t. See Section 2.7.3 for an example UDF that utilizes F_AREA.
By convention in ANSYS FLUENT, boundary face area normals always point out of the domain. ANSYS FLUENT determines the direction of the face area normals for interior faces by applying the right hand rule to the nodes on a face, in order of increasing node number. This is shown in Figure 3.2.1.
ANSYS FLUENT assigns adjacent cells to an interior face ( c0 and c1) according to the following convention: the cell out of which a face area normal is pointing is designated as cell C0, while the cell in to which a face area normal is pointing is cell c1 (Figure 3.2.1). In other words, face area normals always point from cell c0 to cell c1.
Flow Variable Macros for Boundary Faces
The macros listed in Table 3.2.22 access flow variables at a boundary face.
The mouse issue in CWA is rarely about the mouse ceasing to function entirely. Instead, it manifests as a dissonance between player intent and on-screen action. When moving the mouse slowly, the cursor or reticule may lag or feel burdened by inertia. Conversely, a swift flick of the wrist often results in an unpredictable, sluggish turn, effectively punishing the player for fast reflexes. For a game where a single burst from an enemy PKM can kill from 300 meters, this lack of precision is not merely an annoyance—it is a critical failure of the simulation's core interface.
In the pantheon of military simulators, ARMA: Cold War Assault (CWA) stands as a foundational text. Released in 2001 as Operation Flashpoint , it introduced players to sprawling, open-world combined arms warfare. However, for modern players attempting to revisit this classic, a frustrating specter often appears not on the battlefield, but within their own peripherals: the "mouse fix" issue. This problem, characterized by erratic acceleration, negative acceleration, or a floaty, non-1:1 input feel, serves as a fascinating case study in the collision between legacy software architecture and modern hardware standards. arma cold war assault mouse fix
To understand the fix, one must first understand the engine. CWA runs on a heavily modified version of the Real Virtuality Engine 1.0. In the early 2000s, Windows handled mouse input primarily through (part of DirectX 7/8). DirectInput applied raw device data but often incorporated built-in acceleration curves tied to the Windows control panel's "Enhance Pointer Precision" setting. Furthermore, CWA’s engine ties mouse input directly to the frame rate (frame-rendering loop). If the framerate dips or fluctuates, the mouse polling rate effectively stutters, creating a rubber-banding effect. Modern gaming mice, with polling rates of 500Hz or 1000Hz, often overwhelm this legacy code, causing input drops or erratic behavior. The mouse issue in CWA is rarely about
See Section 2.7.3 for an example UDF that utilizes some of these macros.
Flow Variable Macros at Interior and Boundary Faces
The macros listed in Table 3.2.23 access flow variables at interior faces and boundary faces.
| Macro | Argument Types | Returns |
| F_P(f,t) | face_t f, Thread *t, | pressure |
| F_FLUX(f,t) | face_t f, Thread *t | mass flow rate through a face |
F_FLUX can be used to return the real scalar mass flow rate through a given face f in a face thread t. The sign of F_FLUX that is computed by the ANSYS FLUENT solver is positive if the flow direction is the same as the face area normal direction (as determined by F_AREA - see Section 3.2.4), and is negative if the flow direction and the face area normal directions are opposite. In other words, the flux is positive if the flow is out of the domain, and is negative if the flow is in to the domain.
Note that the sign of the flux that is computed by the solver is opposite to that which is reported in the ANSYS FLUENT GUI (e.g., the Flux Reports dialog box).
