Error: File "myfilename.cas.gz" not found!
Error Object: #f

Please don't ask the same question in multiple threads.

This happens when you use relative paths, i.e. rcd filename instead of providing the absolute path to the case and data file. It is quickly fixed by using absolute paths, but this is probably not a preferred solution.

When you launch Fluent, you launch it in a certain working directory. The way you launch Fluent determines what this working directory is set to. Note if you launch from the interactive window then the working directory is one of the user inputs that most people ignore. If you launch Fluent from a terminal, then it gets more complicated and depends on how you have configured your system to respond to whatever command it is that you use.

After you launch Fluent check the working directory by entering into the TUI:

pwd

If your case and data file are not here then when you do read-case or read-data, and provide only the name of the case/dat file, of course Fluent will not find it. If you absolutely cannot figure out how to set the working directory during launch, then you can still change directories using:

chdir

Hi,


I am able to read a data file (.dat) from a relative path in Fluent.
However, I cannot read a journal file (.jou) from a relative path in Fluent.


The files exists and the working directory is correct in Fluent as well. What wrong? I am using ANSYS 2022 R1.

  /file> pwd
 /home/andres/02_ASME_2021/02_cases/22_CT/42_adiabat_CT_M0k3_DR2
 

 /file> chdir /home/andres/02_ASME_2021/02_cases/22_CT/42_adiabat_CT_M0k3_DR2
 

 /file> read-journal
 journal file names [] Fluent_Journal_dt_fixed_e-1.jou
 journal file names [] 
 

 Error: Journal file "Fluent_Journal_dt_fixed_e-1.jou" not found.
 Error Object: #f
 

 /file> read-data
 data file name ["/home/andres/02_ASME_2021/02_cases/22_CT/42_adiabat_CT_M0k3_DR2/M0k3_DR2_DT_0k001_testing_calc_activities.dat.h5"] M0k3_DR2_DT_0k001.dat.h5

   Reading results.

Hi,


I fixed the problem.


There were not all required Linux packages installed.


I installed all required packages, reinstalled ANSYS and the bug was fixed.


Here is an overview of all required packages for Linux.
