Dear all,

I am a beginner user of ansys fluent
i can't launch it from workbench
as i can't find it either at component systems or analysis systems
how can i solve this problem ?

Thanks all

It could be that the Ansys installation that you have does not include a licence for Fluent. It is the only option I see, but I don't have much experience with the workbench environment. I always start Fluent directly, for example through the windows start menu, is that something you can do?

can you locate fluent from start menu > run command?

Thanks For Your Reply

i can launch it directly but i begin to use program from 2 days from tutorial
and feel confused while using fluent directly

so could i all the time depend on fluent without help of workbench and load mesh from gambit (for example) directly ?

with gambit you save the mesh into a file ".msh" then you can read it from Fluent.

It is the problem associated with serial key.. Are you facing this problem from the very first use? If yes, then you have to re-install your serial key.. otherwise go to the ANSYS licence manager(Server ANSLIC_ADMIN Utility), open it as administrator , then first STOP the ANSYS licence manager(probably 6th option) and after that START it.. restart your system.. try to open workbench..Hope it will work
