ANSYS POLYFLOW 13.0 is the second version of ANSYS POLYFLOW to be integrated into ANSYS Workbench. In version 12.1, ANSYS POLYFLOW users were able to create interlinked systems with geometry, meshing, solution setup, solver and postprocessing inside ANSYS Workbench, using shared licensing and HPC. Blow molding and extrusion application-specific versions of ANSYS POLYFLOW were introduced to allow specific industrial processes to be simulated. With regard to modeling, two new models were introduced: the volume of fluid (VOF) model for free surface modeling in a fixed domain; and the discrete ordinates (DO) model for radiation.

In ANSYS POLYFLOW 13.0, the ANSYS Workbench integration, licensing, and modeling capabilities have been further enhanced to meet the needs of ANSYS POLYFLOW users.
