  Dear All,
  I would like to know if anyone has esperience with Polyflow and the mold injection.
  Does anyone have a case that could share with me in order to understand the setup?
  
  Thanks,
  Samuele

  Have you looked in the Help tutorials?

  https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/prod_page.html?pn=Polyflow&pid=Polyflow&lang=en You'll need to open Help in Polyflow then paste the link into a new tab in that browser: the cookie/token/biscuit that the solver triggers bypasses the log in page.

  That's great,
  thanks a lot for answering. Looking at the example, I am afraid that I am looking for the wrong tool. I have a mold/cavity and I want to fill it with a liquid.
  Is it something that I can do with polyflow, or I do need a different tool?
  
  Thanks,
  Samuele

  It's more a question of what the liquid is, and therefore what it's viscosity is. So, have a look at Fluent's VOF model and the options in Polyflow. Both can be used, both will work, but one may be better than the other depending on other factors.
