Results in Fluid Flow (Fluent) “Application failed to connect” in Ansys 2020 R2

      Hello Ansys family,

      So the problem I have is that whenever I press the results icon in fluid flow the above message pops up. I read couple of things in the forum, like:

      -installing all of the prereq files again,

      -opened the CFX from start menu (success)

      But the problem is not quite fixed. I don't know how to import my model into the CFX app manually.

      I had the 2020 R1 version initially with the same problem, now I uninstalled it and installed the R2 version all over again and the problem is still there.

      Please help,

      Regards,

      Konstantinos

      Launch Product & CAD Configurations tool with 'run as administrator' -> Configure Products and CADs , then configure all products. Make sure CFD Post is in this list as wellnIf that doesn't work, post the output of 'set' command (without quotes) from CMD Promptn
