I'm using the Academic Student 2020 R2 version of ANSYS and I'm following the online course as best as possible but every time I run the solver I get this error shortly after pressing solve.

I've already tried reinstalling and restarting the project multiple times but I still get the same error in the same place. I've also tried solutions posted on similar discussions such as deleting/moving the temp folder.

Can you turn off the Distributed Option before Solving and see if that helps?

Sorry I forgot to mention I tried that and it still results in the same error.

Turns out the error has something to do with the Academic version of ANSYS. Solved by going into Mesh and changing "Element Order" from "Program Controlled" to "Linear"
