Hi, I have downloaded the free student version of Ansys and installed as specified on the website.

I keep running into a problem where there seems to be a license issue. 

I have even tried reinstalling it several times, and everything works okay but fails every time when I try to describe geometry in Fluent. 

I have been following along with a tutorial provided by Ansys so I am led to believe I am not doing anything wrong in my meshing process. 

See screenshots attached

Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

 

Thanks!

Hi Ferghus,

Is this happening with all the models? or any specific model?

Previously did you use any other versions excluding the free student version.

Thank you for the reply,

Seems to be having the issue with all the models I try. 

I had another go and I got a bit further before the same issue came up.

I haven't tried any other version, just the 2024 free student version.

Hi Ferghus,

In your start menu type %temp%> .ansys> over there will be a file named "*discovery", scroll all the way down in that file and please share screenshot of that file.
