  • Polymat User's Guide... opens the Polymat User's Guide in the Ansys Help. Note that the Ansys Help provides access to other Ansys documentation as well.

  • About... opens a window that displays installation details, including the external version numbers of the Ansys products you have installed (which change with each release) and the internal build ID of Polymat (which may or may not change with each release).
