      A past solution to this issue is the following: 1.shut down Fluent 2.Rename the C:Usersyourname.cxlayout.ini file and C:Usersyourname.fluentconf folder (if it exists). (Use any name so that FLuent will be forced to generate new versions of these files when it restarts.) 3.Restart Fluent This should reset the Fluent GUI window layout and Fluent configuration back to their default states. Then the ribbon toolbar and tab should show up again. Most likely something either in the %USERPROFILE%.cxlayout.ini file or %USERPROFILE%.fluentconf folder got corrupted.
