The geometry and the program just closes and I cannot use it and it gives me an error.

Your ANSYS issue may stem from licensing conflicts or system configuration. Here’s a concise guide:

  1. Fix Licensing Issue:

    • Check if the student license is active via the ANSYS License Manager.
    • Ensure the geometry operation is allowed under the student license.
  2. Clear Temp Files:

    • Delete files in C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\Temp\.ansys.
  3. Avoid Special Characters:

    • Reinstall ANSYS under a user account without special characters like é.
  4. Reinstall & Update:

    • Fully uninstall, reinstall ANSYS, and ensure your GPU drivers are up to date.
  5. Run as Admin:

    • Launch ANSYS and SpaceClaim as administrator.
  6. Check Geometry:

    • Use compatible formats like .STEP or .IGES.

If problems persist, review logs in the temp folder or seek help from the ANSYS Student Community.
