1.2.1 Accessing the ANSYS FLUENT Documentation

You can access the ANSYS FLUENT documentation from your ANSYS Inc. installation area.

How to Access the Documentation Files in the Installation Area

If the HTML and/or the PDF files have been installed with the software, you can view the documentation by pointing your browser to:

On Windows:

path $\backslash$ ANSYS Inc $\backslash$ v120 $\backslash$ fluent $\backslash$ fluent12.0. $\stackrel{\Downarrow}{x} \backslash$ help $\backslash$ index.htm

where path is the folder in which you have installed ANSYS FLUENT (by default, the path is C: $\backslash$ Program Files), and $x$ is replaced by the appropriate number for the release (e.g., 9 for fluent12.0.9).

On UNIX/Linux:

path /ansys_inc/v120/fluent/fluent12.0. $\stackrel{\Downarrow}{x}$ /help/index.htm

where path is the directory in which you have installed ANSYS FLUENT, and $x$ is replaced by the appropriate number for the release (e.g., 9 for fluent12.0.9).

This will bring up the ANSYS FLUENT documentation "home'' page (Figure  1.2.1), from which you can select the HTML or PDF version of the particular ANSYS FLUENT manual you want to view. For large manuals, PDF files are provided for the individual chapters in addition to a single PDF file for the entire manual on the User Services Center.
