Dear technical support team,

I ran Ansys fluent on the university's server. I accidentally clicked on something last week and the outline view window disappeared. The screenshot is included below. Do you have any idea how to reset the window? 

Thanks a lot

See if anything shows up when you check Task View panel.

Thank you Rob for your reply!

The following figure has the task page. I only see and can clicked in 'General', but I could not do anything else, like method or bounday conditions, because the outline view panel disappears. 

Do you have any idea about this issue?

Thanks a lot

Have a careful look to the top left of the window, you might be able to see the tabs. If so, click on them. 

Otherwise can you see the middle icon below? Top right of the window.

Thanks for your reply, Rob!

The issue is the top menu panel and outline views are all disappeared. I carefully checked and I didn't find that either top left window or top right window.

 I do remember that I clicked something when I set up Fluent last week and top menu panel and outline views are disapeared after that, before that everything works perfect. I update two new figures. Do you know how to solve this issue?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Rob,

I was able to enable the outline view before I saw your link.

But the menu bar (ribbon) still is inactive even if we tried your link and we also tried another link:https://innovationspace.ansys.com/forum/forums/topic/ribbon-window-disappeared/?template=rocky  but the ribbon still not be active. Since our cluster is running on the Linux system, do you have any other solution? The link you sent to me is based on the windows system. The following figure is updated screenshot.

Thanks a lot

Can you run Fluent in standalone mode?
