Hi! I am not sure why but I am getting this error consistently every time I try to open Ansys mechanical. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but I am still getting this error. Please help! thanks!

Can you look in Workbench to see if there are any messages there too? 

[moawezawan]

That's the error message showing. It is weird because it was working fine a few days ago. 

[moawezawan]

sorry accidentally clicked on the solution option...and it isnt geometry issue its something with the mechanical interface of workbench. 

 

Edit: rwoolhou. No worries. Think deleting my post fixed it: will wait for Win to get on.

moawezawan,

Try this.

Make sure all ANSYS applications are closed, then try registering the DLL's by starting a Command Prompt with "run as administrator" ,  and issuing the following commands

regsvr32.exe ole32.dll

regsvr32.exe atl.dll

regsvr32.exe oleaut32.dll

regsvr32.exe scrrun.dll

regsvr32.exe jscript.dll

regsvr32.exe vbscript.dll

 

All must say successful.

 

Then, open up a regular Command Prompt , do not "run as administrator", and issue the following command

move "%appdata%ansys" "%appdata%ansys.old"

 

Thanks,

Win

Hi, I could fix the problems using the same steps

For the first part you can watch this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZG8WiW8x8I

Inside the prompt you will insert the commands:

regsvr32.exe ole32.dll

regsvr32.exe atl.dll

regsvr32.exe oleaut32.dll

regsvr32.exe scrrun.dll

regsvr32.exe jscript.dll

 

regsvr32.exe vbscript.dll

And after this step you should go to Disk C:-> Users-> The folder with your name -> AppData -> Roaming -> Ansys. So you can rename the folder with your license (mine for example is v201) for "(Your License)_old" (mine for example v201_old).

I hope it works

Hello Win, can you please help me? 

I seem to get the same issue.

I have tried to run the scripts in the command prompt, but several of them didn't run, see below.

In addition, I cant find this appdata. This is my working laptop, I am afraid to do something wrong, but maybe it is better to reinstall ansys at all?

Thank you for help.

Please, let me know what I should do to fix this.

appdata is the location for all of the user settings (graphics etc) and can cause problems with the software if it corrupts.   If you've run a model the files should be wherever you saved Workbench.

Hey guys, maybe one of you can help me.
I have the same problem as the guys before me but im not able to solve it.
Where do i have to insert the
"%appdata%ansys" "%appdata%ansys.old"
part? And do I have to add it with the "% or without? I really need held (sorry for my English)
Greetings

[Rob]

The %appdata% is a Windows file that stores preferences, typically in
C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalAnsys
C:UsersusernameAppDataRoamingAnsys
You need to rename the folder that links to the version of Ansys software that you're having problems with.

[manu_98]

Hey Rob,
I found the folder and changed the name to .old gut its not working anyway....
