FLUENT installation on UBUNTU 12.04 (LTS)
 

Dear all,

I am trying to install ANSYS FLUENT 14 or 14.5.7 on an UBUNTU 12.04 (LTS) machine. However, I keep getting an error log file that I don't know how to solve the error. At the end I am pasting the content of the error log.

Any thoughts on this issue?

Hi Teymourj,

I am getting same error. Did you fix this problem?

I am unable to launch design model and mechanical.

Best Regards

Long time ago, but
 

Ramesh,

This post is for a long time ago (couple of years ago), but if I remember correctly I have overcome the issue by correcting the name of the machine and it's IP address in one of the configuration files.
I have entered the wrong name of the server during the installation process.

Hope this helps.
