3. Typographical Conventions

Several typographical conventions are used in this manual’s text 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 menu, enter the name fluids).

  • In Polydata and Workbench, a mini flow chart is used to indicate the menu selections that lead you to a specific panel. For example:

    File Options

    indicates that the Options menu item can be selected from the File pull-down menu at the top of the Polydata 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.
