Mesh does not start when opening from Workbench. I get a grey screen and an hourglass, but then the hourglass switches to an arrow. I have left it for up to an hour. When I close the grey Mesh window, Workbench shows the message “Error while waiting for Meshing initialization to complete. Either the application crashed or Workbench lost communication with it.” I am using a Fluid Flow (Polyflow) Analysis System.<\/p>\n
Clues
New install of 2024R1 student edition on an up-to-date Windows 10. Rebooted multiple times since install. Installed as administrator, running as administrator
I am able to start and use Spaceclaim
My graphics driver is the latest available
There are no unusual characters in the path to the project file (C:\/temp\/myproject) or in my username
I have disabled my antivirus and firewall.
I do not have any duplicated Named Selections in my geometry
The geometry is made only of surfaces. The number of faces is only five, so I am below the limit for the student edition.
I am able to open the mesh utility on other computers, but this is the best machine I have available. The analysis will take a little while, and I would really like to do it on this one.
I moved the Windows Path variables to the top of the list (I saw this mentioned in another post, but can’t find the post now)
I tried to set NVidia’s preferred graphics processor to “High-Performance NVIDIA Processor”, but I cannot find the setting. My CPU does not have built in graphics, so I only have one choice anyway.<\/p>\n
Does anyone have any idea why I can’t open the meshing utility? Or how to look for more clues?
