Hello,
It could be that, the "Working Directory" option may be disabled. You can confirm the working directory in Fluent by entering 'pwd' into the Fluent console.  Moreover if you encounter the Ansys.Fluent.Cortex.CortexNotAvailableException error, it suggests that Fluent is unable to start when attempting to open the project. In such cases, it might be helpful to try reading the case in Fluent outside of the Workbench or exporting the mesh and setting the case from scratch. 
Hope this helps. Thanks!
