      Good afternoon, I've had a problem with Mechanical, I have imported the geometry well, actually I've made the contacts and I have been able to do some calculations but today I have opened mechanical and I get the following warning

      Try the following:
      Close all ANSYS Programs
      Open Windows file Explorer.
      in the address line, type in: %APPDATA%\Ansys
      This should take you to the directory Ansys, located under your APPDATA directory.
      You should see a directory name v212 (depending on the version you are running)
      rename that directory to v212.old
      Now, try to run.

      Just tried the same, but error persisted when I've tried to open same file. Something else that I can try?
