Additive workbench – Cannot input tabular data

  Hello,
  
  I am working in the transient structure analysis system and I cannot input any tabular data. I have checked several tutorials and when they clicked on tabular data, a window pops up in which we can enter data. However, nothing happens on my screen. I have also tried the external load but it still does not work.
  
  Thanks

  It wouldn't help. I think it's some problem with the GUI

  Ok, 2 Issues here:
  
  1. You are using an the Coupled Physics ACT plugin from an older version in what looks like a newer version of ANSYS. Is it ANSYS 2019R3 (available as a beta feature in 2019R2)? If it is then you should be able to directly use the Coupled Transient Analysis system:
  
  2. Coupled Field analysis does not use the concept of EKILL/EALIVE which is a lumped layer approach to building metal parts. You might want to start off by using the AdditiveWizard which comes pre-packaged in as an extension. Refer to the help for complete details.
  
  It is also a linked analysis that uses weak coupling.
  
  Here the video you might want to follow:

  Lastly, there is some other systems issue with you the graphics on your linux machine. The context-dependent menu isn't quite available here.

  Thank you for the solution. I will try that out.
  
  Regarding the graphics problem on linux, I wonder if mechanical offers a TUI similar to Fluent? Is there a way that thru APDL command the data could be entered? Thank you

  Yes, you should be able to do this from the command line (by running the job in foreground), See this:

  Also where can we find the AM wizard? We have access to the additive suite but do not know where to download the AM wizard
  
  Thank you

  It comes pre-packaged. Just activate it using Extensions>Manage Extensions as I show above

  Somehow we do not have it, and this is a newly installed 2019R3.

  On Linux, you might've to work without the Wizard. Please see Chapter 5 in the help to understand the general steps.
