If you start Ansys Polyflow from Ansys Polyman or Workbench, a listing file (named
listingFile or polyflow.lst,
respectively) will be created automatically. When you start Ansys Polyflow from the
command line, you must specify a name for the listing file; otherwise, the messages
will only be displayed in the xterm or DOS window. The following procedure shows how
to create a listing file named my.lst from the command
line.
Be sure the mesh and data files (and the results file, if you are starting from an old one) are in your working directory.
Start Ansys Polyflow by typing:
polyflow < my.dat > my.lstAnsys Polyflow will read the specified data file (and the mesh and results files it points to) and perform the calculation, writing all messages about its progress to
my.lst.
When the calculation is complete, you can view the listing file with a text editor, so that you can review what Ansys Polyflow has done. For example, you can check the listing file to see if the solution has converged. See Contents of a Sample Listing File for a description of the listing file’s contents.
