Hello, I am user for ANSYS Simultaion program as University licence access.
I installed in C drive and have used this program for a longtime.In this week, however, when we used this, so many error windows appeared
And I can't move viewing point in parallel(Ctrl+center button in mouse).
error message is "Failed to save the file. this may be due to conflicting read/write permissions or insufficient disk space. \Ans_{8D11A24E-7BA4-438E-AOED-F47DD3D112B3}.dsdb".
How can I fix this problem?
I hope to know what I have to do.
plus, when this problem happened, C drive was full. So we eliminated unnecessary files, but situation was not changed.

Try "save as" and also check the scratch/tmp folders in case you're still short of space there too. I assume you did empty the rubbish bin?
when I save the project, that error windows doesn't occur.
but black background and disabled parallel moving are very big problem.
I can't see 'bar' data in the figure because of black background.
You can try resetting configurations. Open up CMD Prompt and issue the following command
move "%appdata%\ansys" "%appdata%\ansys.old"
Thank you for reply!

Have a good day!

Dear tsiriaks,
May I know how does the CMD Prompt work? I faced the similar issue as juwon.
I don't really understand how to move "%appdata%\ansys" "%appdata%\ansys.old"
The CMD prompt is the new name for a DOS prompt, it's a way to use typed commands in Windows.
If you want to find and move the %appdata% just put that string into the File Explorer search and you can rename/move etc when you find it. There may be several so rename the one associated with the Ansys version of interest.
