      Hello oshooaipe2020, 

      I believe it could be a faulty installation. Did you get a chance to reinstall applications or check if standalone applications are working?
      Are you using a student version or a commercial?

      Can you please try to install a fresh setup of fluids or structures package and let me know?

      Reinstall the application as administrator & delete configuration files:

        1. Uninstall Ansys package as administrator.

        2. Rename ‘ %temp%\.ansys’ to ‘‘ %temp%\.ansys.old’

        3. Rename ‘AppData\Roaming\Ansys’ to ‘AppData\Roaming\Ansys.old’

        4. Rename ‘Documents\Ansoft’ to ‘Documents\Ansoft.old’ (if any)

        5. Download then install the Ansys product-specific package as required as administrator.

      I hope this helps.

      I am using a student version... I would try these and get back to you...thanks

      I have tried reinstalling it thrice; it just takes up my storage and still shows the critical error

      I just discovered the installation is taking up my storage but the app is not installed just in the extracted folder
