  Hello Guys,
  
  I am using Ansys 2019 R2 and most of the times when I use Explicit Dynamics, te Mechanical keeps crashing.
  
  When I try to open the model afterwards, I face the following error message:
  
  Any thought?

  Does this happen in other machines, or just a specific machine?
  
  If this happens to every model, then reset %appdata% might help. Let's try forcing workbench to create a fresh set of default configurations files the next time it starts again.
  
  close all Workbench window
  Start > Run > Enter: %APPDATA%
  Select Ok.
  In the Explorer Window that appears, open the Ansys folder...
  Rename the v194 folder to v194_old. (assuming you are using 2019R2.)

  It works.
  
  Someone here already suggested me to do this before.
  
  However, I didn't use Ansys for a while and when I needed to use again, I needed to create a new appdata folder.
  
  What really worked was to install the R3 version. In this version my models never crashed.
  
  Thank you!
