I'm running Fluent in batch mode on our University's cluster. The log shows it stuck at "initializing part manager from file":

My workflow is: 

• Solid models created in Solidworks 2021, then exported as *.x_t
• Named selection made in Space Claim 2022 R2
• Run batch job on the cluster. Ansys version is 21.2

Could this be a version conflict?

Open SpaceClaim and import your file. 

Export pmdb file from SpaceClaim from Workbench tab. 

Then use that pmdb file. 

Please go through help manual for more details

I also met this problem. I imported the .pmdb file.  Could you please help with this problem?

I also have run into the same issue.  I am using a pmdb file exported from spaceclaim.  I can open it without any issues on Windows, but on Linux it hangs at 'Initializing part manager from file ...'.  Has anyone been able ot find a solution?

[marc.goldbach]

In my case it was an issue of different versions between Windows and Linux.  When I created the pmdb file in Spaceclaim using the same version as Fluent on the Linux server (in my case 2022 R2), then import works without issues.
