  Hi all,
  
  I'm running into the error "The geometry editor was closed abnormally." whenever I try to open SpaceClaim or create a mesh using fluent in workbench. I can open SpaceClaim on its own but not via workbench.
  
  To get around the issue, I created my model in SpaceClaim first and then loaded the file into the geometry cell in workbench. However, I get "The geometry editor was closed abnormally." again when I try to create the mesh and I couldn't work around this one.
  
  I've followed the suggestions on this thread:
  
  /forum/forums/topic/ansys-error-the-geometry-editor-was-closed-abnormally/?order=all#comment-0e426e13-eb7a-48d9-9feb-a9cf013274f6
  
  but non of the suggestions worked.
  
  Any insight into what is causing the issue and potential solutions is greatly appreciated!

  Hi again,
  
  I kept trying things and finally something worked! Here is what worked for me:
  
  "
  
  go to
  
  C:Program FilesANSYS IncANSYS Studentv192commonfilesconfigswinx64unconfig
  
  then right click on AnsUnconfigSpaceClaim.exe and 'run as administrator'
  
  now, go to
  
  C:Program FilesANSYS IncANSYS Studentv192commonfilesconfigswinx64config
  
  then right click on AnsConfigSpaceClaim.exe and 'run as administrator'
  
  "
