I conflicted a error message, which is " The step data was checked and warning messages were found.              
  Please review output or errors file (                                  
 C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\WB_Owner_15776_2\_ProjectScratch\Scr4 
 41B7\file0.err ) for these warning messages. "

then, I saw Solver Output and I could see the three messages such as below.

1) " The model data was checked and warning messages were found.             
  Please review output or errors file (

3) "ERROR: Worker process(es) with rank(s) 1 have encountered a FATAL error.

I think these errors are related to the path of files. So I made a new folder, new model, new workbench.

But well.. It was same. So what do you recommend? What should I do? Can you help me, sir?

What software is failing? Have you looked in the error files, what do they tell you?

[Kim Sang Hoon]

I used 'steady-state thermal' in Ansys Workbench. 

I tried to find the files but I couldn't. The files were not found. I found the similar files, but the files were empty.....

OK, so one for the Mech users.

Hello Kim,

Can you check the exact error from the .err and .out file?

[Kim Sang Hoon]

Hello Khemka, Oh I found that. I've searched .err and .out, then finally I could find the files. Thanks! So what should I do from now on?

[Ashish Khemka]

Hi Kim,

 

Can you please open those files in notepad and share the snapshots of error message you see?

Hi, Thanks for your help.

I opend the .err files and I found the messeage such as

 : "

And I opend the .out files and I found a lot of message such as

plz help me, sir..

Hi,

The error message indicates that the model requires more scratch space. You can try changing the location of temporary files. Please see if the following link helps:
