Ansys CFD on vista64
 

CFX-PRE.. I think also on POST get the following error when I click on the empty workbench or just the part, also when I click on the new selection!

signal 11 was caught: segmentation violation Socket error: recv: connection reset Aborting due to unexpected error: comm::error: GUIInterface::waitInput - Unexpected end of transmission from GUI. Warning!

CFX-PRE exited with return code 1

should I move to winXP64?

Specs: I have ATI Radeon 3870 GFX card 512MB DDR4

Quadcore AMD x64

Hi,

Vista 64 bit is a supported platform so there should be no need to change OS. Check you graphics card has current drivers on it. I assume the graphics card supports OpenGL, it is hard to find cards which don't these days.

If nothing works try using some off the other display options (for instance you can turn OpenGL off and just use CPU rendering). How to do this is in the manual.

Glenn,

I thought Vista support was only a beta feature.

Re: Ansys CFD on vista64
 

i guess its still beta.. with errors. I see the part.. if i resize, the background disappears!

Hi,

No, Windows Vista has been fully supported in ANSYS and CFX since V11 sp1.

No, VISTA is NOT supported, but will be at version 12. Go with XP64.

Hi,

Here is ANSYS's page on it.

http://www.ansys.com/services/ss-110...rm-support.pdf

It says it is a supported platform from V11sp1 but the note says the support is at beta level only. That is a bit contradictory really.
