Everytime i try to generate a surface mesh, the following error comes up and it does not allow me to procede.. i do not understand why, I also checked with the CAD Configuration manager but nothing.. does anyone know how to fix this problem? I uninstalled and reinstalled Ansys at least 4 times now and i have the same problem every time...

I suggest moving your geometry files to a different location than a OneDrive folder. Also, the path to the file should have no special characters or spaces.

[Gerard Bita]

I found the problem, is because of the comma in the onedrive folder. thank you very much 🙂
