Hi, I keep getting this error when I try to solve in static structural mechanical. I'm running windows 10 and my pc meets the specs that ANSYS requires. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Managed to solve it.

I had to go to solve process settings > advanced > and untick ''distribute solution''

Hey there! I write here cause I had exactly the same ERROR MESSAGE, which is:

"An unexpected error ( SIG$ILL ) has occurred...ANSYS internal data
has been corrupted.ANSYS is unable to recover and will terminate.
Previously saved files are unaffected.Please send the data leading
to this operation to your technical support provider, as this will
allow ANSYS, Inc to improve the program."

I see that you managed to solve the problem by modifying that option, but my problem is that I am not using the "general" Ansys software, but just the MECHANICAL APDL 2022 R1. The problem started when I installed the new version (before this one I used 2020 version, but I never had a single issue): i can open the software and modify all the options in th preprocessor, but when it comes to click "SOLVE", that message appears and when I click "PROCEED", suddenly it crashes and it closes by itself. I post a screenshot to better understand:
I tried downloading another version, such as MECHANICAL APDL 2021 R2 (as yours), but the problem is still the same.
Please, help me!!!!

Ok guys, that's really an incredible coincidence. I've been looking for a solution to my problem for months, literaly. By the moment I posted the question, I instantly found the answer on another forum!!!!
If someone else has the same problem with MECHANICAL APDL, no matter the version, I suggest to visit this forum:
