      There is a defect in ANSYS Fluent that provokes a crash of the Fluent application when you read a case that references sensitivity files that cannot be found. The location of the sensitivity files is saved as an absolute path. Therefore, moving the files to a different location provokes the crash already. This will be fixed in a future version of Fluent (later than 2019 R3). Three workarounds exist: 1. Remove the reference before saving the case 2. Load the case in the legacy serial version of Fluent 3. Edit the uncompressed case file and remove the reference manually The required steps for the workarounds are discussed in the attached document.
