Under the menu bar, there is a series of ten keywords.
- REFR
refreshes the display of the Ansys Polydata menu.
- STOP
stops Ansys Polydata without saving the current session to a file.
- SAVE
saves the current session to a session file without generating a complete data file. You can restart Ansys Polydata and read in this file to continue your session (see Reading and Writing Ansys Polydata Session Files), but you cannot read the session file into Ansys Polyflow. The data file (see Reading and Writing Ansys Polydata Data Files and Reading Mesh, Data, and Results Files into Ansys Polyflow) is the way to transfer your problem definition to Ansys Polyflow to calculate a solution.
- EVOL
turns on or off the menu for specifying dependencies of solution variables on the evolution variable or on time. This menu will appear for each material property or boundary condition that you specify. See Evolution for details.
- LSEV
lists all evolution or time dependencies that are currently defined, and allows you to edit or delete them.
- PMAT
turns on or off the menu for specifying dependencies of material properties on a variable, such as pressure, temperature, or species. This menu will appear for each material property that you specify. See Specifying Material Properties as Algebraic Functions for details.
- LSPM
lists all property dependencies that are currently defined, and allows you to edit or delete them.
- UPDT
turns on the menu for flagging a parameter as modifiable in a User Defined Template (UDT). See User-Defined Templates (UDTs) for details.
- LSDT
lists all templates entries that are currently defined, and allows you to edit or delete them.
- FIT.
starts Ansys Polymat, a module that allows you to fit the parameters of selected fluid properties using experimental data.
You have to save the results of your work in Ansys Polymat yourself and read them into Ansys Polydata through a material data file, because Ansys Polydata and Ansys Polymat will not exchange material data directly. See the Ansys Polymat User’s Guide for details.
