  Hi, could someone say me why I can't open this project that I saved? The icon of the Ansys Workbench should appear, while my file is totally white

  Open WB and try to read in the wbpj file. Windows doesn't always link the files correctly.

  Thanks for the feedback! But what do you mean with "try to read in the wbpj file"? Sorry, I didn't get.

  Open Workbench from the Start menu (well, it was start, it’s the Windows symbol thing, bottom left of the screen). Once WB loads File>Open and navigate to the desktop for the wbpj file.
  I’ve seen a lot of people double clicking on files because of the “normal” Windows behaviour; with engineering/less common formats that can fail. For example, we use pdf files in Fluent that are Probability Density Function, and nothing to do with the document format! Fluent's pdf files may predate the document reader too.
