Hy everyone,


the same problem with installation of Ansys 2019R1 on Ubuntu 18.10!
Design Modeler is working. But Meshing is not working in Static Structural.



Thanks,
Yurij.

Helo everybody,


The same problem here!
I want to install Ansys 2019R1 on Ubuntu 18.10 but the installation freezes on 91%. The last information in the log file is:

AWPROOTDIR = /usr/ansys_inc/v193
Creating ANSYS RSM Cluster Node Service script ...
Created service script: arcnode


Does anybody know how can we solve it?

Hi,

i installed ANSYS 19.2 successfully on 16.04, but when i run Design modeller, i get following error Screenshot from 2019-05-14 23-24-46.png

Thank you for this post. It was very useful to me. I used it to install Ansys 17.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 and it worked. However, when I tried to run a FSI case that was runing fine in the Windows OS I had the following warning message and then the program stoped.


+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Warning! |
| |
| Output call terminated unexpectedly: Aborting due to internal |
| error: "CFX5::Output::CCL=HASH(0x41b65420) ccl2flow executable |

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

May this warning be related to the installation procedure somehow? Could someone have some tip?

Thanks

Has anyone met anything similar?

Thanks,

Hey,

Any ideas how to install ansys 18 on Ubuntu?

If you found any solution then please write it!

since I had a lot of issues installing Ansys on Ubuntu, I summarize here all the steps (some picked up inside this forum) that are required to have a running version. I suggest to use standard MESA driver instead of nvidia or AMD drivers because I also need to use xrdp 0.9.4 (to have remote access) and it does not work with those drivers.

The required packages from the installation guide (for RedHat/CentOS) are:
• libXp.x86_64
• xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic.noarch
• xterm.x86_64
• openmotif.x86_64
• compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64
• libstdc++.x86_64
• libstdc++.i686
• gcc-c++.x86_64
• compat-libstdc++-33.i686
• libstdc++-devel.x86_64
• libstdc++-devel.i686
• compat-gcc-34.x86_64
• gtk2.i686
• libXxf86vm.i686
• libSM.i686
• libXt.i686
• xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi.noarch
• glibc-2.12-1.166.el6_7.1 (or greater)

1. Therefore I installed:

sudo apt install xterm lsb csh ssh rpm xfonts-base xfonts-100dpi xfonts-100dpi-transcoded xfonts-75dpi xfonts-75dpi-transcoded xfonts-cyrillic libmotif-common mesa-utils libxm4 libxt6 libxext6 libxi6 libx11-6 libsm6 libice6  libxxf86vm1 libpng12-0 libpng16-16 libtiff5 gcc g++ libstdc++6 libstdc++5 libstdc++-5-dev

2. Install manually libXp (not included in the standard repo), you can find it at:

https://pkgs.org/download/libxp6

3. Update the database with:

sudo updatedb

4. Locate the following libs and create soft links based on your system. I did as follows:

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1 /usr/lib/libGLU.so
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXm.so.4 /usr/lib/libXm.so
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXm.so.4 /usr/lib/libXm.so.3
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXp.so.6 /usr/lib/libXp.so
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXt.so.6 /usr/lib/libXt.so
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXext.so.6 /usr/lib/libXext.so
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXi.so.6 /usr/lib/libXi.so
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib/libX11.so
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSM.so.6 /usr/lib/libSM.so
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libICE.so.6 /usr/lib/libICE.so
sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 /lib/libgcc.so
sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so
sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib64/libc.so.6

5. Change the command interpreter for shell scripts:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash

Then answer "No" to the question.


6. From DVD1 install Ansys, launch:

sudo ./INSTALL

7. Since you have installled ANSYS as root, you need to change ownership of the ANSYS configuration directories and files so that you have write access to them (if "user" is your username):

sudo chown -R user:user ~/.ansys
sudo chown -R user:user ~/.config
sudo chown -R 777 /ansys_inc/v182/aisol/WBMWRegistry/

8. Debian-based multiarch distributions have their libc in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ instead in /lib/. So that regular-expression for fetching the libc_version misses because of the two hyphens in x86_64-gnu-linux. After this modification everything seems to be fine...
Locate cfx5arch (probably /usr/ansys_inc/v182/CFX/bin/cfx5arch). In this file you will find near line 196:

if test -n "$libc_file"; then
case `basename $libc_file | sed 's/\.so//g'` in
glibc-*|libc-[0123].*) # this is almost certainly a glibc version

after that I added:

libc_file_tmp=`echo $libc_file | sed -e 's/x86_64-linux-gnu//g'`
and modified the following line from:
libc_version=`echo $libc_file | sed -e 's/^[^-]*-//' -e 's/\.so//g'`

to

libc_version=`echo $libc_file_tmp | sed -e 's/^[^-]*-//' -e 's/\.so//g'`

9.Since ptrace is used to monitor intelmpi CFX run, set the permission for all the users, just edit

PHP Code:

/etc/sysctl.d/10-kernel-hardening.conf 


and set:

kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 0

10. Set the following environment variables in your .bashrc:

# Workbench
export ANSYS182_DIR=/ansys_inc/v182/ansys
alias wb2='/ansys_inc/v182/Framework/bin/Linux64/runwb2 -oglmesa' 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/ansys_inc/v182/Framework/bin/Linux64/Mesa:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
#export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 #uncomment if you have trasparency issues in CFX pre/post or turbogrid
export LANG=en_US.UTF8

#CFX
export PATH=/ansys_inc/v182/CFX/bin:$PATH

#Turbogrid
export PATH=/ansys_inc/v182/TurboGrid/bin:$PATH

#FLUENT
export PATH=/ansys_inc/v182/fluent/bin:$PATH
export FLUENT_ARCH='lnamd64'

Hello david!


ubantu is complete new for me. I am unabale to follow few steps written by you and in urgent need to install ansys in ubantu! I am not able to follow the things from step 6. it would be great help to me and other as well if you can make a video on it.

Dear Herli,

David made a well-explained post for most of the Linux users it is a simple sequence of commands one has to perform. For me there is no need to incorporate these things into a video.

Take your time to get familiar with the shell even if you are in hurry (in the 21th century everything is already too late - always),...


By the way, back to the topic. Does anyone can confirm ANSYS R20.2 to work within Ubuntu 20.04?

I tried on 20.04. I got the following error after step 1:
Package libstdc++-5-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Package libpng12-0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libpng12-0' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'libstdc++-5-dev' has no installation candidate

I could not find “libstdc++-5-dev” for Ubuntu 20.04.
