  I want to change the working directory without using fluent launcher.
  Are there any commands to change working directory following this command ?

  I know the way to change directory using chdir command in fluent console, but I want to select working directory before fluent app start-up in command line.n

  What do you want do? To change the working directory while launching Fluent? All available command flags are listed when you launch with -h.n

  I want to use fluent with matlab in ass mode. But once I start-up fluent launcher, I can't operate it from matlab. So I need to launch fluent directly from matlab and without launcher.n When I start-up fluent using below command, working directory is set to same as fluent directory( C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v172\fluenttbin\win64). n

  You just ?launch Fluent in the directory you want to work in. There is no flag to tell Fluent to start in certain directoy.n
