Solver filepath error

  I need to run a simple simulation using the Ansys LS-DYNA Student version. However, when I'm trying to solve it, it keeps giving me the following error message:
  
  I checked the solver (ANSYS252.exe) filepath and it should be correct: C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\ANSYS Student\v252\ansys\bin\winx64. However, I couldn't find inside the software where the solver filepath is specified or where it could be modified in the first place.
  
  After that, I ran the Ansys Student Installer with "repair" option, and it still does not work.
  Is there something else I can do to fix this?

  Hello, I believe that LS-DYNA in Ansys Workbench is not included in the Student Version. Only Ansys LS-PrePost (for building the model and post-processing the results) and Ansys LS-Run (for running the model) are available. Please refer to the link below and see the "What's Included" section. https://www.ansys.com/academic/students/ansys-ls-dyna-student
