  Hi Micheal,
  Can you please uninstall the application and delete the installation path and type %APPDATA% in address bar delete the Ansys folder and then redownload and reinstall v231.
  Please see to it that you download application through Ansys Website and also while installing run setup.exe as admin.

  Hi Micheal,
  Can you please check if any antivirus/ security software is blocking the Ansys application?
  Start the application and then go to the application logs.
  Go to START > Event Viewer > Expand the Windows Logs and choose Application.
  If you see an error over there click on it, and you will come to know why the application is crashing before launching.
  Ask your IT to whitelist the C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc folder in antivirus/security software.

  Hi Micheal,
  Please ask your IT admin to whitelist the C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc path, SentinelOne is blocking it(Faulting module path).

  Hi Micheal,
  Then please go ahead and whitelist the Ansys Inc Folder " C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc " in the SentinelOne application.
