Greetings, I have an issue with the ANSYS flow analysis. Since the my username contains special language characters, ANSYS did not start in the first. Then, I fix the username problem and I am able to make static, dynamic, thermal analysis without problem. However, when I try to make fluent flow analysis, I come across with a problem which says directory cannot be changed to C:blah blah. Besides, in the error, the special character which I fixed of my username is shown as ?. nI deleted and reinstalled the program, but it did not work again. nWaiting for your advice.n

actually, I am running it from workbench. I think that the problem is about directory. I searched about it in the forum, but they are not explanatory. As I mentioned, my name contains 'ç' letter, then i changed it with 'c'. But, the error which is directory cannot be changed to C://users/'name surn?me'/.... makes problem, I think. As I put the question mark instead of 'a' in the surname in a represented way, the real error put question mark instead of 'c'.

Look for and remove the %appdata% for that version of Ansys. Then open the project and re-save with a different name. Fluent may have a folder stuck in the case file so it's also possible you'll need to restart that simulation. n

As Rob mentioned, please go to %appdata% and go to Ansys folder. Delete corresponind v201 or your version folder. Then open files nAlso make sure that not only folders but file names also do not have any special character or spaces.nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn
