Hi

When I open the CFX post, the error message is 'PostGui_ogl.exe has stopped working'. But i can run CFX-solver and open the CFX-Pre without any problem. May I ask how to solve this problem?

Thank you very much!

Some ideas:
* Try opening it from the launcher
* Try oipening it from the command line
* Open it from the command line using the -mesa option. This starts it up in a different graphics mode.

Thanks. I have solved this problem by simply deleting the .cfx folder.

hi, I'm having the same problem with CFD-post 14.0 what do you mean with deleting the .cfx folder? did you delete the folder with the files that you where working on or something else ?
Fluent and workbench are working fine. the only problem is with Post.
Any suggestions ?

thanks

sorry for asking, I've not been using ansys for long how can I open it using the mesa option?

Look in the documentation on starting CFX from the command line. the -mesa is a command line option.

I believe the correct command line argument is
-gr mesa
or
-graphics mesa

I tried to open it from the command line, but the mesa option for graphics is only for linux systems apparently. The problem is still there. nothing changes if I use the launcher or the command line, I always get an error saying that "the program can't start because libCuEGuiViewer.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"
I also tried to reinstall the program but it didn't work. I still can't open the program.
is the recovery my only option? since yesterday it was working fine

Try deleting the .cfx directory. This is a temporary directory which gets put in your local users temporary file path. For windows 7 that is C:\Users\<UserName>\.cfx by default.

I found it and simply deleting the folder it started to work fine again.
thanks a lot

This can happen if opengl is not working on your machine. If you are using linux try cfdpost -graphics mesa. If you are using windows check that opengl is working.

Thanks for your reply,
I use window 7 32bits with graphic card "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200" but i dont know how to verify if OpenGL is working. I have look every where and made researches with the word OpenGL but no response on my machine. How can i proceed??

Thanks!!!

Check the driver for your video card is up to date. Then look at the video card properties and check that the opengl options are enabled.

I have check but i don't see Video card anywhere in the list of periperics , just graphic card as mentioned earlier!!

Otherwise, when i try CFX launcher directly the message is:

" le point d'entrée de procedure
?detach3@QlistData@@QAEPAUData@1@XZ est introuvable
dans la bibliothèque de liens dynamiques QtCore4.dll. "

Thank you for help.

[ghorrocks]

That looks like a Qt error. This looks pretty bad, something is very wrong with your installation. Have you removed CFX and reinstalled.

The installation normally is simple.

Look in the installation manual to check you have the necessary pre-requisites. Follow the instructions and it should work. ANSYS support can help you if you still have problems.

Hello!

I have removed and reinstalled the software but it is the samething all other module run correctly, but when i try to launch the post by CFX launcher the message is:

An error has occured in cfx5post :
D:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v150\CFX\bin\winnt\PostGui_ogl.exe could not
started, or exited with return code 255 : il n’y a plus de fichier.

Otherwise when i execute InstallPreReqs.exe it says that no prerequis is necessary!!

I think i will begin training with the first modules and see later with the cfx-post.

Thank for all!!!!
