Hello,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Can anyone tell me how to enable or activate GPU acceleration on Ansys Mechanical APDL 18.2 ?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have the following specs:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Operating System: Windows 7 Professional x64<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4930K CPU @ 3.40 GHz 3.40 GHz<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Installed Memory (RAM): 32 GB<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

GPU: NVIDIA Tesla C2075 and NVIDIA Quadro 2000<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CUDA version: 6.0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CUDA runtime: 6.0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Graphics Driver: NVIDIA 332.88 (checked with GPU-Z) <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note that I have already applied these methods.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Method 1.<\/strong> In Mechanical APDL, Tools > Solve Process Settings > My Computer > Advanced><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

   Max number of Utilized cores: 4      Use GPU acceleration: NVIDIA      Number of utilized GPU devices 1 (also checked with 2)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Method 2:<\/strong> In System variables, Add new variable> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

   Variable Name: ANSGPU_OVERRIDE      Value = 1.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, I am still getting an error saying that:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

*** FATAL ***<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An error has occured when trying to check for any GPU devices on machine. Error code = 35 which translated to: CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version. Please check your GPU device driver level and verify that a supported GPU device has been installed correctly<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note that I tried to install CUDA 10, 8, 7.5, and 6.5. I got the same error on every version of CUDA. Now CUDA 6.0 is installed in the system<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NOTE: I checked on Ansys Fluent, using \/parallel\/gpgpu\/show. Both of the GPUs are shown and starred.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Please guide me about how to activate and utilize the GPU on my workstation. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
