Reply To: Ansys 2024 Chemkin error

Hi Dave:

 

A conflict between ANSYS open SSL libraries and those on the local machine is typically what causes these types of issues.  As you found out, we have seen this happen before.  Unfortunately, we cannot avoid such conflicts entirely because the customers’ local environments tend to vary.

 

Going forward, you can temporarily rename those dlls in C:\Windows\System32 to allow Chemkin UI to launch.  The preferences page will appear if there is no Chemkin preference file on the local machine (i.e. it should only happen the first time the Chemkin UI is launched on this machine).

 

You may have better success with a newer version of Chemkin.  If your local version of open SSL libraries is newer, a newer version of Chemkin may avoid this conflict.

 

Best Regards,

Judy
