Nudis
Hallo Graham
I never could get NUDIS to run because I didn’t had a C:\ disk.
This happened during a reinstall of windows, everything else worked fine, so find it to much work to reinstall again for NUDIS alone.
Getting interested again after this post, I mounted a directory with the letter C.
And it runs but stops shortly after the IMPUT ALL command [nudis1.jpg].
Its makes; time.dat, wall.dat, v.dat, p.dat, and t,dat. But stop wit the message;[nudis2.jpg].
Fault 1004 during execution:
Through the application or through object define error
I translated it from Dutch, so I could be not so accurate.
I think maybe the problem is that I use a Dutch version of Exel.

Nudis Vs Vista
Dear Graham,
Thank you kindly for your email, it was a great a help. I appreciate you sending me that information, cheers.
Rosco, I think I mentioned how to fix that vista problem?
Boot in command prompt, and type...
C:\>format C:\
LMAO!!!!!!!
Sorry to hear they infected your computer with the virus that is microsoft.
Goodluck dude! Also, when are you going to install some big fuel lines in that cc of yours?

Dear Leo.
Please try again but:
1) This time answer 'Ja' to Run Stand Alone.
Tell me what happens.
What version of Excell are you using (2000, 2003 or 2007)?
Are you getting this problem when testing the Type06 motor?
Can you tell me what the 3 buttons say in the checkbox (Nudis 2.jpg)?
Press the debug button. You should go to the Visual basic edit sheet. Open VB code sheet module 1 and tell me the line that it has stopped at.
regards
Graham.

The problem is the same if I answer ‘Ja’ to Run stand Alone.
I used Exel 2000 and have now installed Exel 2003, but the problem is the same.Graham C. Williams wrote: What version of Excell are you using (2000, 2003 or 2007)?
I get the same problem with all the example motors not just the Type06 motor.Graham C. Williams wrote: Are you getting this problem when testing the Type06 motor?
The buttons say ‘continue’ ‘stop’ and ‘debug’ the fourth one is the same in Dutch (help).Graham C. Williams wrote: Can you tell me what the 3 buttons say in the checkbox (Nudis 2.jpg)?

I don’t can open de ‘foutopsporing = debug’ button, because its not active, I don’t now how to activate it, maybe you protected it?.
I am almost sure the problem is that in use a dutch version of Exel.
I would like to try Nudis and compare it with Uflow, and try out my resonator motors.
When I blow it with a lot of air, it jumps to a second harmonic and is suddenly painful on the ears I would like to try model it in Nudis, and compare it with the result I have in uflow,
Especially because its possible to ad combustion.

Dear Leo.
I've sent you an unprotected version of the 3 Excell Books. It will probably make no difference but at least we'll be able to see what is causing the problem.
I can see from your second jpg that the Construction book has run correctly. The Analysis book has opened correctly and all the *.dat files seem to have loaded. From this I have an idea of what area of the programme is causing your problem but I need to be sure.
Let me know how you get on.
Regards
Graham.

NUDiS Interpretation with Tuning
Dear Graham,
Hope the pint hit the spot.
Ok, so heres a stab in the dark that maybe you could elaborate on.
In figure 1A, we are seeing the pressure wave on the cell of a reflector cone of no particular HPX varient. (there are like 40 in here so I can't remember which one.)
In regards to "Tuning" the engine...
Figure 1 A: Now the cell we are looking at is on the reflector cone. And we notice "Dips" in the wave. Would this be the reflector cones impact on the pressure wave form? If so, would one have to tune/move the reflector to adjust the "dip" or reflection time to a suitable point so its on the upcoming pressure "Stroke" of the wave, to co-incide with the original Lady Anne data that nudis presented?
I think this kind of analysis could be useful for forum members to know what their looking at when they go to "Tune" their engine in the digital world.
2A: These reflections on the return wave are of less amplitude, would i be correct in assuming they are reflections off the expanding cone from the CC? Is that assumption correct? Also, how much of a part did that play in your calculations for the original cones?
Would we also be correct in the assumption that in an ideally tuned engine of this type each reflection should be uniform, but on every 2nd cycle we have an increase in the amount of reflection occuring?
Once again, love your work guys.
Good stuff.
Regards,
James.
I've just discovered a particular mod to these engines that NUDiS says is breathing twice per cycle much like your much loved escopette, pretty cool eh Larry :D

A bit of a rush reply
Dear James.
Not Like That at all I’m afraid.
With Reference to the FWEVIIIREV6 motor the design process went something like this:
1) Fix the O.A. length from the spark plug hole to the end of the tailpipe
2) That fixes the CC dia. With this motor I knew we would be taking this to the maximum I could without appreciable negative late-combustion effects. The F.W.E. combustor needs you to estimate an effective CC dia.
3) Work done by Mike Evermann indicates that there are certain best locations for the centre of combustion.(see else ware in this forum) Knowledge of these and the required effective CC dia set, within limits, the gradient of the F.W.E back cone and thus the approximate location of Pinch 1.
4) The induction pipe wants to be in the region of 17 to 18 % of the corrected length of the motor. By initially estimating the Exhaust dia and the induction dia this length can be entered.
5) The location of the maximum dia of the reflector section is roughly set by using again CofC combustion Theory. As can an estimate of the location for Pinch 2. Aksi considered are the halfangles of the conical sections and the effect these things can have upon gas flow.
6) Now follows a round of Quick Non combustion NUDiS runs. I’m looking initially for resonance and good breathing characteristics. The above lengths and diameters are changed a little at a time to get near to what looks like a reasonable motor with reasonable wave alignment. Following that I’m looking for a reasonable rebound pressure and high massflow. Exhaust dia and induction dia and length can be bettered at this stage.
7) Attention turns to the centre of combustion. Where is it and how does it move during the period of pressure rise. Small manipulations of the reflector cone section diameters and locations of pinches 1 and 2 all control the movement of sub waves and within limits allow you to manipulate the centre of combustion over time.
8) Now a set of full combustion runs. The object being to maximise thrust. Quickly you discover which parameters give you most joy in this respect.
9) My target Thrust was 4Lbs. By the end of this process I quickly achieved 4.9Lbs. You’ve got to stop somewhere.
10) All dimensions are changed one at a time by plus and minus 1mm. The effect on thrust being noted. This gives you an idea about whether the motor can be built or not. After all it’s no good having a motor that develops untold thrust if all dimensions have to be held within a few thousands of an mm and if you don’t thrust drops below the target. Such a motor is no good. For example changing Pinch1 dia by 2mm either side of 29mm produced a drop in thrust of about 0.5Lb.
11) I learnt with the original Type07fwe motor that exact static alignment of all waves does not maximise thrust under combustion conditions. This is to be expected really as no 2 combustion events are exactly the same. The waves over a number of cycles will show a range of amplitudes and timings

Re: NUDiS
Holy Macro!
I've just installed this software, and I have to say.. I'm way out of my depth ere, someone throw me a polo!
I best get reading, I'll start with the posts in this thread and see what happens. Or is their a manual on how to use this software that I've missed, but tbh.. only 2mins ago installed and got it up and running
Awesome bit of software this is, I can kind of understand some of the goings on more like a few words here an there. This must have taken some serious time and effort. Thanks ever so much for releasing this hard work of yours it's warmly received here and I'm looking to put this to good use
Simply awesome!

Re: NUDiS
Hi Charles.
Yes, it is a bit of a macro Fest!
Start by reading everything here. I have posted some instructions.
Be sure to update the major programmes with the Public Release 2. It's a whole lot better.
I have a much faster version here with lots of good bits but get this running first.
Open the Construction Book.
Load the Type06 motor.
Note how the pipe is constructed of butted sections; Length, starting Dia and ending dia on the next line down.
On the inputs.dat sheet check the run time
Run NUDiS
When it's done have a look at the results.
When you're happy try a combustion run.
Welcome to the world of 1D non-steady internal compressible flow.
Graham.

NUDiS error messages
Dear Graham,
I have the same problem like leo with nudis (same error messages, but german, no dutch excel). Do you have any new fixes about this problem? Would be very happy to get help from you !
Thanks in advance!

make sure in excel you've got macro's enabled. Go to: extra>>macro>>beveiliging and at the tab "beveiligingsniveau" put it on "laag"
now go to "vertrouwde uitgevers" and make sure you check both tabs.

Answer NO to Run Stand Alone
After some working I get a window “Microsoft Visual Basic” with the message: Fout 1004 tijdens uitvoering. Door de toepassing of door object gedefinieerde fout. Then I get only the end now (beeindigen) possibility.
Only after closing Excell, Excell asks:
Excel will ask you what you want to do with the large amount of information in the clipboard? Just say No.
[The Time it takes to Calculate the Massflow and Density then go onto finding the Max and Min values depends upon the simulation time in the Inputs page of the Construction Book. In this prepared example (Type06) I set the value to 1ms (so have I) so it shouldn’t take too long. If you have altered the value up you may want to make a cup of tea.]
Your scepticism is fuel for my brain.
