The steps are:  !) Connect to the Linux system an launch CFD-Post with the following command:    cfdpost -server  from the folder with the CFD-Post executable or with the full path to it. You will see the following message if the start is successful:  &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Running CFD-Post engine in server mode. A remote GUI can now be connected to the engine by running the following command, where the host name (###1) can be substituted with its IP address (###2)   cfdpost -remote ###2 -port ###3 -viewerport ###4  Waiting for GUI connection&#8230;   &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-  The values ###1, ###2, etc. will be unique for your settings  2) Go to your local machine and open a command window. Find the CFD-Post installation directory (typically under C:Program FilesANSYS Incv192CFD-Postbin) and launch CFD-Post with the command  cfdpost.exe -remote ###2 -port ###3 -viewerport ###4  substituting the ### values given in the Linux machine.   If all ports are properly opened, the machines can see each other and the firewall is not blocking the connection you should see a line added to the output in the Linux session:  &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-  Connection arrived from host your_host  &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-  Indicating that the connection has been successful. After this CFD-Post will open in the Windows machine.   In order to load files from the Linux server go to File > Load Results and then enable &#8220;Specifying Remote Server Path&#8221;. Then introduce the desired path from the Linux machine and it should load the model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-164623","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-19-2","topic-tag-cfd-post","topic-tag-fluid-dynamics","topic-tag-general"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["3-15-2023  20:20:10"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.56.168.180"],"_btv_view_count":["1427"],"siebel_km_number":["2058015"],"product_version":["19.2"],"km_published_date":["2019-01-17T00:00:00.000Z"],"family":["Fluid Dynamics"],"application_name":["CFD-Post"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/164623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/164623\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
