19.2 geometry not able to attach

      Hello,


       


      I just installed 19.2, and have made a simple geometry that I was trying to open in mesh (using Fluent). However, I get this error. Can someone please help? I was using similar geometries in 19.1 and could open them - so I would be surprised if there is anything that could be changed with that.


       


      Thank you!

      Hello Lindsay,


      Can you please make sure to close the geometry editors - Spaceclaim or DesignModeler and then try opening Fluent?


      Thank you.

      Oh yeah, I did double check that. Sorry I forgot to mention it. So that isn't the problem either.


       


      Thank you!

      I created the geometry in DM, I just made a new Fluent Stand alone system and thought I would try making it in spaceclaim, and I got the following message. Not sure if it's related, but thought I would mention it in case it is and gives any clues.


       



      Thanks!

      Thank you Lindsay, can you please check C:Program FilesANSYS IncANSYS StudentShared FilesLicensingwinx64 (or your installation path) and see if you have a folder called update in there?


      If so, please copy the contents of this update folder and paste them into the winx64 folder (which is one level before the update folder).

      Hi Lindsay,


      Do you have the exact same Project Schematic for Workbench 19.1 (which works) and Workbench 19.2 (with this issue) ?


      If so, try this.


      Close all ANSYS applications.


      Open CMD Prompt, then copy and paste the following command


      copy %appdata%ansysv191licensinglicense.preferences.xml %appdata%ansysv192licensinglicense.preferences.xml 


      Thank you,


      Win

      There actually isn't a folder called update in there . Am I missing that, and that's causing the problem?


       


      Thank you!

      Hi Win,


       


      when I copied the command into cmd prompt, it returns


       


      The system cannot find the file specified.


       


      Thank you!

      Hi Lindsay,


      I just realized that I told you to do this in 19.1


      https://forum.ansys.com/forums/topic/licensing-error-while-opening-ansys-mechanical/?order=all#comment-a4088544-ff50-449c-9e3d-a92d015ed6e0


      Can you do the same thing for 19.2 and see if it helps with this issue ?


      Thank you,


      Win
