No Connection from Transient Structural Solution to Fluent Results in Ansys 2021 R1.

  When running 2-Way FSI the Hyperelastic Flap example, the analysis successfully completed but Ansys Workbench 2021 R1 cannot create a connection from the Solution cell of Transient Structural to the Results cell of Fluid Flow (Fluent). When trying to draw the connector, Ansys Workbench is showing a forbidden sign. It is not possible in both Windows and Linux platforms. However, it is possible to do it in Ansys 2019 and 2020 R2 with the same example. If the project from Ansys 2020 R2 that has the connection, and then opened in Ansys 2021 R1, double clicking the Results cell of Fluid Flow (Fluent) leads to the following message:
  "CFD-Post does not support reading Transient Mechanical 2021 R1 or later results files. Mechanical results will not be loaded. Please remove the connection from Mechanical Solution 1 to CFD-Post Results."
  Is there any update that can solve this issue? Thanks.

  Starting Ansys 2021 R1, CFD-Post does not support reading Transient Mechanical 2021 R1 or later results files. I had to use (and learn) Ensight to postprocess my Transient Mechanical results along with Fluent results. I have not used Ansys 2022 but I think Ensight has to be used as well.

  I know this thread is for long time ago, but how about Ansys 2022 R2? Did they fix this ? Or Ansys no longer lets structural solution cell connect fluent result cell?

  In Ansys 2021 and later, CFD-Post does not support reading Transient Mechanical. You need to use Ensight. There are tutorials in the Learning Hub on how to use Ensigh with both CFD-Post and Transient Mechanical but my subcription to Learning Hub ended and cannot provide any links.
