Hi,

So after some searching (mainly on this forum) I managed to get a working installation of ANSYS Workbench + Fluent on Linux Mint 18.3. I put down my steps here in case someone else wish to try a Debian based distro.

1. Install the ANSYS package.
2. Make sure you have mesa-utils and rpm installed
3. Do some exports:

Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/ansys_inc/v182/Framework/bin/Linux64/Mesa:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export FLUENT_ARCH="lnamd64"
4. Create symbolic links:
First find the paths:
Code:
locate libGL.so 
locate libc.so
Then create the links (change paths accordingly)
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib64/libc.so.6
5. Make sure that the user has full rights to the .ansys folder:

Code:
cd ~
sudo chown -R username:username .ansys
6. Change the command interpreter for shell scripts:

Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
Then answer "No" to the question.

**Since it has passed too long time to edit this post I just add some more information here. It may be of value to someone**

If you do not wish to change your default shell to bash (step 6 above), then you can also modify the fluent shell scripts


There are two files that you need to edit (change version to the appropriate one if you are not using version 18.2).


Code:
/usr/ansys_inc/v182/fluent/bin/fluent
and


Code:
/usr/ansys_inc/v182/fluent/fluent18.3.0/bin/fluent
Change the top line in both files to the following

Code:
#!/bin/bash
Now you will use bash for fluent without changing your default shell.
