1.1.1. Limitations

The following limitations are known when using Polyflow in Workbench:

  • Care must be taken with regard to the handling of units. You can specify the length unit system in the Ansys DesignModeler and Ansys Meshing applications, but these units are not taken into account in Polydata and Polyflow; Polydata and Polyflow ignore the system of units, and only require that you are consistent in the units you apply. Polydata does have a unit conversion utility, but it only affects the data entered in the Material data menus. You are required to specify the unit system that will be exported to Ansys CFD-Post, though this specification will not have any impact on the numerical values of the fields in the Ansys CFD-Post files.

  • The version of Polyflow started from within Workbench will always be the version of Polyflow that is installed with the current version of Workbench being run.
