      This machine doesn't have dedicated graphics card, see this link for tested/supported graphics cardsnhttps://www.ansys.com/-/media/ansys/corporate/files/pdf/solutions/it-professionals/platform-support/graphical-display-graphics-cards-tested-2020-r2.pdf?la=en&hash=57AD6E61827699B3CB3837589AF4025DBE222932nI recommend to just do the background solve on this machine either via RSM or command line. The pre/post processing parts can be done on a machine with capable graphics.nHowever, if you like, there is one thing you can try. In Fluent Launcher -> More Options -> Environment tab, put the following in the environment boxnFLUENT_LAUNCHER_OPTIONS=-driver x11nn
