  Hello,
  
  I’m facing a problem in ANSYS Workbench while working on a Fluent CFD project. The Geometry, Mesh, Setup, and Solution modules work fine. But when I try to open the Results module from the project schematic, I get the following error:
  
  ❌ Application failed to connect
  
  Interestingly, when I manually navigate to the project folder and open the .res file using CFD-Post, it opens correctly. So, the result data is not corrupted — it's just not opening within Workbench.
  
  What I’ve Tried:
  Refreshed the project and restarted Workbench
  
  Checked project directory and file paths
  
  Re-solved the project
  
  Ensured Fluent is installed properly
  
  Still, the issue persists.

  This is an experience many people share when using Fluent through Workbench. Consider moving to a "standalone" workflow. This is only the tip of the iceberg - you will eventually run into several different bugs or instabilities when working with Fluent+Workbench long enough.

  If the issue persists, you can try launching a standalone CFD-Post session and loading the case and data files directly into it.
