It would be of best interest, to save the project at this point. Click on the "Save As.." button, Image Modified, which is located on the top of the Workbench Project Page. Save the project as "LaminarPipeFlowFlatPlateFlow" in your working directory. When you save in ANSYS a file and a folder will be created. For instance if you save as "LaminarPipeFlowFlatPlateFlow", a "LaminarPipeFlowFlatPlateFlow" file and a folder called "LaminarPipeFlowFlatPlateFlow_files" will appear. In order to reopen the ANSYS files in the future you will need both the ".wbpj" file and the folder. If you do not have BOTH, you will not be able to access your project.

On the left hand side of the workbench window, you will see a toolbox full of various analysis systems. To the right, you see an empty work space. This is the place where you will organize your project. At the bottom of the window, you see messages from ANSYS. Left click (and hold) on Fluid Flow (FLUENT), and drag the icon into the empty space in the Project Schematic. Your ANSYS window should now look comparable to the image below.

Since we selected Fluid Flow(FLUENT), each cell of the system corresponds to a step in the process of performing CFD analysis using FLUENT. Rename the project to Laminar PipeFlatPlate.
We will work through each step from top down to obtain the solution to our problem.
