ANSYS installs and runs well on Ubuntu 16.04 (and similar Debian/Ubuntu based distros from that era, such as Linux Mint 18.x, Debian 9 etc.)
Here is a guide that works. On more recent Linux distributions, sadly ANSYS does not work. ANSYS does not even have a plan to support RHEL 8.x (CentOS 8.x), that was released in 2019, until earliest 2021 (if "feasible"). On the flip side, it may once again be possible to use a recent Debian based distro in 2021 if ANSYS manages to fix support for RHEL 8.x. Time will tell. So if you have the need to use a more recent distro as your workstation you are out of luck? Well, it has been possible to run Fluent at least. Even if the ANSYS installer gets stuck at about 88%, it is still possible to use "Design Modeler" and also Fluent. ANSYS Meshing does not work though, so since Ubuntu 18.04 my work flow have incorporated SALOME + OpenFOAM to do the meshing and conversion to Fluent mesh format. So how about the most recent Ubuntu LTS? On Ubuntu 20.04 we get the following error when trying to run Fluent: Code:
fluent: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var Code:
mv Framework/bin/Linux64/libfreetype.so.6 Framework/bin/Linux64/libfreetype.so.6.bak So Fluent then works. |
