2.15. Polyflow Project Templates

You have access to a series of Polyflow project templates, each of which is a Workbench project file for a common Polyflow simulation, which you can modify in order to quickly and easily set up your own problem. These templates contain all the elements of a complete simulation, from geometry (or mesh) to postprocessing, and include design parameters and a predefined CFD-Post report. Note that for the Polyflow project templates, the Setup cells have data and are Up-to-Date, as opposed to the system templates described in the previous section, which do not have upstream data for the Setup cells (that is, they are Unfulfilled).

After loading the template in Workbench, you can hook your own geometry or mesh to the Polyflow system and modify the setup via Design Exploration. By simply clicking Update Project, you will automatically run the simulation and create the report corresponding to your flow domain and operating conditions.

The templates are located within in the following directories:

  • For Linux:

    path /ansys inc/v242/polyflow/polyflow24.2. /Templates

  • For Windows:

    path \ANSYS Inc\v242\polyflow\polyflow24.2. \Templates

where path is the directory in which Ansys Polyflow has been installed, and represents the appropriate number for the release (for example, 0 for polyflow24.2.0).

Each template is stored in an individual directory, and is comprised of:

  • an archived Workbench project file (.wbpz)

  • an HTML file that is the output of the predefined report of the CFD-Post file saved in the project, which describes the setup
