The geometry and the program just closes and I cannot use it and it gives me an error.

Your ANSYS issue may stem from licensing conflicts or system configuration. Here’s a concise guide:

1. Fix Licensing Issue:

   • Check if the student license is active via the ANSYS License Manager.
   • Ensure the geometry operation is allowed under the student license.

2. Clear Temp Files:

   • Delete files in C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\Temp\.ansys.

3. Avoid Special Characters:

   • Reinstall ANSYS under a user account without special characters like é.

4. Reinstall & Update:

   • Fully uninstall, reinstall ANSYS, and ensure your GPU drivers are up to date.

5. Run as Admin:

   • Launch ANSYS and SpaceClaim as administrator.

6. Check Geometry:

   • Use compatible formats like .STEP or .IGES.

If problems persist, review logs in the temp folder or seek help from the ANSYS Student Community.
