Hello,<\/div>\n
  when openning the Mechanical Modeller, we run into the above error message and it fails to start.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
platform:  CentOS 7.9.2,   AnsysFLST version 22.2            command to start:  runwb2<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Steps to produce the error:  Open Workbench ==> Make a stead-state thermal project ==> double click on geometry ==><\/div>\n
Make a simple geometry in design modeler (e.g. a simple cube), then in Workbench double click on Model.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
(Any other workflow that result in opening the Mechanical modeler would result in the error)<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
# After selecting Steady State Thermal and double clicking on Geometry, a little error window pops up:
WB Error while loading the DocingPane.<\/div>\n
Then the “Steady-State Thermal – DesignModeler window shows up.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The following are the exception trace shown on the terminal. If you need more information, please let me know.<\/div>\n
