  Everytime I try to edit model (ansys mechanical) I get the AnsysWBU.exe error. I tried the Ansys 2025 R1&R2 and 2024 R2 student version but I still get the same error. what could be causing this error ?

  Hi Kamal,
  launch the workbench and re-produce the error then goto start menu> Event Viewer> Expand Windows log> Application> check if any error is visible related to Ansys Workbench.
  The error mentioned in the screenshot is a generic error and can be caused due to multiple reasons, ex: old graphics driver, system's *.dll blocking the software or 3rd party software blocking the application.

  Hey Rajeshwari,
  Thank you for the reply. The message I get is "Error while waiting for Mechanical initialization to complete. Either the application crashed or Workbench lost communication with it." I tried reinstalling the software but I get the same error.

    Can you check your event logs and look for error under level column?
