 Hi,

I am using Ansys Fluent 18.1 Student version. It was running all good earlier. But now when I try to open "Results" for post-processing in workbench , the following error message pops up. Anybody have idea what is wrong and hot to fix it?

System.ApplicationException: Application failed to connect.

Could you please try clearing data from Results component?

Hi vganore,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Clearing data from Results component did not help either.

Workbench also pops up the same error on refreshing the "Results" component.

Thanks.

Take another result component in workbench from component system and connect your solution cell with new results component. See if that helps. 

If same problem persists then try opening CFX in a standalone mode through windows start menu. See if it gives same error. Might be a license issue.

Thanks vganore for the suggestion.

New linked results had similar error. CFX standalone mode had error too. May be the license issue like you suggested.

I had another fresh installation of Ansys 18.2 and all is good now.

Many thanks for your response.

I have the same issue when I use 19.2 student version. Could you please tell me how you figure out your problem?  Your suggestion is useful to me. Thank you!

You're better off logging a new question in Installation, that way we can check if it's the same problem.
