  Hey ,
  I have a problem with no graphic showing in Fluent (ANSYS Workbench: 18.2)
  
  I changed the colour graphic yet it didn't help.
  
  The Intel graphic driver is updated
  
  •    I have no NVIDIA graphic card, only an Intel HD Graphics 620 (Surface Pro 2017).
  •    Display Resolution: 2736x1824
  •    Win10, 8gb RAM
  
  I don´t have “Intel Graphics Driver Control panel“, so there is no way to disable "Multi-Sample Anti-Aliasing" (I saw this solution in a other thread)
  
  There is a similar thread involving using "msw" instead of opengl, but unfortunately, I have no idea what that means.
  
  I don't know whether I should start looking for a new laptop.
  
  Is there someone who can help me?
  Thank you,
  Maciek

  MSW is Microsoft Windows driver.
  
  Here is the procedure to enable MSW Driver
  
  In the Environment tab in the fluent launcher type, FLUENT_LAUNCHER_OPTIONS="-driver msw"
  
  If you run from the command line add the following command, fluent -fluent_options "-driver msw"
  
  Please note that using the MSW driver may or may not work in many cases because of graphics requirements. In that case, when MSW driver won't work, you can disable the graphics card and then OpenGL software will be utilized.
  Hope this may help.
