As it stands, whenever I execute the command in the command prompt, it automatically opens the Fluent Launcher, requiring me to manually click on the "Start" button to proceed to the Fluent application. I want to skip the click action and open Fluent directly.

You need to modify two environmental variables one of which is simply adding the fluent executable to the path. There is setenv.exe utility in one of the ansys dirs that will do it for you automatically.

c:\ Program files\ANSYS Inc\vxxxx\fluent\ntbin\win64\setenv.exe


Since your command line works with the launcher, it seems you may have already done this step.


Have you tried passing the nogui flag?

yes, I've already added the fluent executable to the path. I have also tried -g option, but the launcher still shows.

If you pass -g flag then it should most certainly not launch the launcher unless there is something in your journal file that calls for the gui and then fails. Make sure you have only TUI commands and nothing that even looks like cx

I've found what is the problem, I use -3ddp, actually it should be 3ddp, It's weird not showing any mistake.
