Reply To: ANSYS Student 18.2 never solves

[Pentaro]

I am using the student version of ANSYS Mechanical version 18.2.  Every time I open up the program and try to solve a problem the solution bar gets stuck at "Preparing the mathematical model". This happens even when I have a simple beam with a fixed support at one end and a transverse load at the other. What I am saying is that I highly doubt this problem is due to the complexity of the solve. I have even left my computer working on the solution over night (for the simple beam problem I described before) and it is still stuck on the "Preparing the mathematical model" part. 

I have even gone so far as to uninstall and then re download ANSYS three times and it still does not work. 

I have no idea what to do about this and I cant find anything online. If someone can help me figure this out this would be great! I need help! 

Thank you

 Please, i am in the same dilemma, My Ansys stopped solving and instead get stuck at "Preparing the mathematical model"

 

 

I have only two days to spare until my project deadline. I already diactivated distributed solve setting and my antivirus, i also checked for gaps using the distance finder to ensure there was no gap. 

 

I really do not know what to do. ?????
