5.5.1. Reading a Data File into Ansys Polyflow

To have Ansys Polyflow read in a data file called my.dat, which points to a mesh file called my.msh, follow these steps:

  1. Be sure that the mesh and data files are both in your working directory.

  2. Start Ansys Polyflow by typing:

    polyflow < my.dat

Ansys Polyflow will read the mesh and data information from my.msh and my.dat, and perform the calculation. See Writing an Ansys Polyflow Listing File. for information about saving the messages that Ansys Polyflow prints during the reading and solution process to a listing file.
