Hi,

I've just installed Ansys Student (2024) so I can use Space Claim and Fluent. I have no issues opening and using Space Claim but Fluent doesn't open at all.

 

I initially had an old install of Ansys 2021 which I have now fully removed (Fluent 2021 worked fine), and I also uninstalled and reinstalled 2024 in hopes it would fix the issue but it didn't.

 

None of these work:

Open Fluent through space claim

Open directly from the program files

Trying to open after allowing all ANSYS programs through the firewall or turning off my firewall entirely

Updated graphics drivers

 

Not even a window opens or an error message. I only get an error message saying 'FLUENT application failed to start' if I try to open it through workbench but no other information.

 

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Dan

Hi Dan,

Please attach the screenshot of error.

Can you verify if you can launch via workbench or standalone fluent?

Hi,

 

When opening through workbench by clicking 'mesh'  or 'solution' this comes up:

 

However when I click results it opens:

If I try to open it through the start menu and finding fluent or opening through spaceclaim then nothing happens at all.

I'm a beginner with Ansys so apologies if I'm missing something obvious

 

Thanks

Dan

I had a similar issue with Ansys 2024 R1 product installed on Windows 11 OS. The same version is working fine on Windows 10. Can ANSYS have a look at it and confirm whether its a bug ?

Please try the following:
right click on Product and Cad Configuration 2024 R1 and choose "run as administrator.

Run through Unconfigure Products and CADs

Then Conigure Products and Cads

Does that allow you to run?
