Hello,nAs I had commented on an earlier similar post, I had the same issue and this is how I fixed it. Following these steps, you don't have to launch fluent from command prompt!nInstall Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition with C++ options (ANSYS 2019 doesn't support newer versions of VS such as MSVS 2019)nGo to Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment VariablesnGo to the bottom section named System variables and then double-click to open PathnThere, create 4 new entries (mentioned below as steps 5, 6, 7, by clicking on 'New':n%SystemRoot%\\system32n%SystemRoot%nC:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\x64 (This is the location for make in MSVS 2017 Community Edition)n\ANSYS Inc\v194\fluenttbin\win64 (This is for ANSYS 2019, your version number will change according to the one you have installed)nMake sure that the entries in steps 5 - 8 are at the top most rows of the path variables, i.e., entry 5 should be in row 1, entry 6 should be in row 2, entry 7 should be in row 3, and entry 8 should be in row 4. You can change their row positions using Move Up option in the system variables dialog boxnClick OK and exit out of the Path variables dialog box, as well as exit out of the Environment variables dialog box and System properties dialog boxnRestart systemnStart FLUENT. In the FLUENT Launcher, click on 'Show More Options'nMake sure that the working directory location is the location of your folder containing your UDF and then click OK to launch FLUENTnNow you will be able to build and load your UDFs.nHope this will also help in your issue.nCheers!n
