Hello everyone, I am using ANSYS Student Version 2024 R2

I made a Gyroid TPMS Structure on nTopology, saved as STL File and converted it into Solid on SpaceClaim. Now I want to open this part in Ansys Mechanical through Workbench and got 3 errors as shown below. This issue only came up after I have converted my part into Solid, maybe because the file became way bigger? I was able to open the same part as STL file on Mechanical before, but I could not mesh it. That is why I converted to Solid so that I can mesh, but now I can't even open it. How do I solve this? I would really appreciate some guidance.

Now I opened details and it shows these errors

On my mechanical it looks like the picture below, you cannot see the part

And this is how my part looks on SpaceClaim

Kindly let me know if someone knows something.

"Shared License" is when both SC and Mechanical use a single license, but only one program can be open or active at once. 
Close SpaceClaim, then try the Attach / Refresh into Mechancial.

In Ansys Mechanical Student version 2025 R2, if I try to solve the solver window appears but closes immediately after initialization without giving results. I have tried so many times to fix the problem, reinstalled it, tried running as administrator, tried changing the cpu cores, also checked visual C++ redistributables, also made the ansys folders in the virus and malware exception list. During troubleshooting I also noticed that in ansys mechanical the license itself showing enterprise version, not student license version but in the corner of the GUI it showing as Ansys 2025R2. Since I have low space in my C drive I installed it on my D drive, I have 4 GB RAM  and running on Windows 10 Pro operating system. Please resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you.

Lets make sure the solver itself runs...

In your Ansys 2025R2 Program group, look for Mechanical APDL Product Launcher
Select the license, select Shared Memory Parallel, then Run.
See if the GUI starts.

I have tested using the  Mechanical APDL Product Launcher but when I tried to open it a black window appeared and vanished immediately i.e., the GUI window doesn't open. Please tell me what I have to do now.

In the MAPDL Launcher, there is a setting for the Working folder. 
Please look in that folder to see if any error files or log files. Examine them with any text editor.
