Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue with ANSYS student and I was hoping someone could help me out. I generated the mesh and did part of the setup, then I saved the project. However, when opened the file the next day, and try to edit the setup I encountered  this error message.

I'm not sure what went wrong and would appreciate any advice on how to fix this issue. I did not moved any files. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with ANSYS Fluent? I would really appreciate any help or suggestions on how to resolve this.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Have you got any odd characters in the save path?  I can see several "?" in the path which often denotes it's a naming issue. Several of the Ansys tools were originally UNIX based so react badly to command characters and spaces in file structures, labels and materials. Spaces are less of an issue in the more recent builds. 

It's something the more experienced staff never notice as we're all UNIX trained so don't use anything other than standard letters, numbers and - or _ in any names.

Thank you for your helpful response!  After removing the odd characters, the problem was solved.
