For generalized Newtonian fluids, Ansys Polyflow can calculate the local value of the viscosity, which can depend on the shear rate and/or the temperature. The viscosity will appear as a scalar field in your graphical postprocessing program.
The procedure for specifying the calculation of the local viscosity is as follows:
Create a new sub-task.
Create a sub-task
Select Postprocessor as the sub-task type.

When prompted, enter a name for the postprocessor sub-task.
In the F.E.M. Task Postprocessor menu, select Viscosity.
