      When using a machine with non-English language setting, the parameter value from UPDT in Polydata in not transferred correctly in the parameter set of ANSYS Workbench. For instance, 1234 would become 1234E+07. This is due to a confusion in the regional settings of the machine. In the regional settings of the operating system, you should change the “Decimal symbol” from “,” (comma) to “.” (point). Note that the “Digit grouping symbol” should be different from the “Decimal symbol”. For Windows 7 and 8 you can find the settings at the following location. (The path can be different for other operating system.) Start > Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Region and Language > Formats > Additional settings… Change the symbols in the “Numbers” and “Currency” tabs. You should then close and restart Workbench to take the change into account.
