  Hello,
  
  I do some calculus in Static Structural. I create my model on my computer using Ansys Workbench and I use the function "Tools > Write Input Files" to create a file .dat. Then I put this file.dat on a server where I solve my model using APDL in Batch. Then I import all the results on my computer in the same folder where I have my .wbpj and I use the function "Tools > Read Results Files" to open the results in Workbench.
  
  Sometimes it works very well, and sometimes the function "Tools > Read Results Files" is grey and I cannot access it in Workbench. What can I do to solve this problem ?
  
  - There is no big difference between my files that are working and the ones that don't. (Sometimes it is just a model I copy paste and changed the size of the mesh for example).
  
  - I followed the instructions of the User's Guide : I use an APDL command in Workbench, the files have the same name, they are stored in the same folder as my .wbpj, I have the .rst and .err together (with all the others : .out, .db, .log ....etc.) and of course I highlight the "Solution" before.
  
  - I have no problem with my licence (I have Teaching and Research Academic v14).
  
  - The size of the result doesn't seem to influence
  
  - I have cleared the solution data, so my model is asking for a Solution
  
  - I have compared the options between the files working and the files that are not working and they are the same.
  
  Thank you so much for your help !

  What version are you using? Is it v14?
  
  This is a very old version so even if this is a bug, it can't be reported to development.
  
  Please try it with a newer version (latest is 2019R1 and can be downloaded by clicking on the banner at the top) and let us know if you still encounter this.

  Thank you for your reply.
  
  Yes I am using the v14 because it is a modelisation for the laboratory of my University, so I use their Research Academic licence.
  
  I "solved" the problem by deleting my mesh and do it again exactly the same way. It takes some time to do but at least after I have everythings that works.
