Ansys Polyman is an environment layer built on top of the programs used in the Ansys Polyflow package. It allows you to start Ansys Polydata, Ansys Polyflow, FieldView, CFD-Post, and other modules (Ansys Polymat, Ansys Polyfuse, Ansys Polystat) from a single starting point. Furthermore, this Polyflow manager helps you organize all of the cases within a given analysis by automatically creating new directories for new simulations. Moreover, Ansys Polyman keeps track of the creation and modification dates of any files, and warns you if a file becomes obsolete (due to changes in the related files) in order to maintain the coherence of the files.

An objective of Ansys Polyman is to hide the numerous files involved in any simulation. Also, the concepts of a project (analysis of a given case that could involve different meshes and/or geometries) and a simulation (a given set of material properties and operating conditions) are created.
