To demonstrate the use of Ansys Polyman to create and manage a project, Ansys Polydata to set up a problem, Ansys Polyflow to solve it, and CFD-Post to postprocess the results, a sample session is provided in this section. You can follow along as the problem is set up and solved, and the results are examined. The problem solved here is presented again in the Polyflow Tutorial Guide. After you read through this sample session, you can set up and solve the problem yourself, following the more detailed instructions provided in the Polyflow Tutorial Guide.
Important: This sample session is designed to give you a general idea of how Ansys Polyman, Ansys Polydata, Ansys Polyflow, and CFD-Post work. It will not supply detailed explanations for the modeling options that are selected, and it should not be the only example you read before you attempt to solve your own problem. The Polyflow Tutorial Guide contains a number of more complex examples, presented with more complete explanations of the selected options.
