Someone shared an ANSYS Fluent file with me in a one drive folder. I have downloaded the file, saved it locally to my own device and opened it. The simulation runs, but at the end of the calculation I get two errors "sopenoutputfile: unable to open fit for output" and "error writing xxx". Here, the xxx refers to the one drive folder location which I downloaded the file from originally. I can't find anywhere in the application or Ansys Workbench settings which points towards this folder, instead everything points towards where my file is stored locally. Please may you help.

Are you running Fluent in standalone mode? Assuming so, can you stop the model at any point and write case & data? The only files that may write at the end of a run may be animations, with monitors closing files as they're written during the run. Fluent can store full paths on occasion but tends not to crash when those fail to write - you usually just find files in odd places on the harddrive.
