3. Typographical Conventions Used in This Manual

Several typographical conventions are used in the text of this manual to facilitate your learning process.

  • Different typographical fonts are used to indicate graphical user interface menu items and text inputs that you enter (for example, Flow boundary conditions panel, enter the name fluids).

  • In Ansys Polydata and Ansys Polyman, a mini flow chart is used to indicate the menu selections that lead you to a specific panel. For example, Display Contours... indicates that the Contours... menu item can be selected from the Display drop-down menu at the top of the Ansys Polyman console window.

    The words before the arrow invoke menus (or submenus) and the arrows point from a specific menu toward the item you should select from that menu.
