  Hello, I'm working with Ansys 2022R1 on a project, and when I tried to open the "Solution" window a message appeared, and it said "hit ... to exit" (I don't remember the exact words) and all got stuck.
  As a result, I closed the workbench and when I tried to reopen the project it said that the project is "locked" so I unlocked it, but then it said that the project may be corrupted , so I tried to recover it, just to receive the following messase -

  Depending on what went wrong you may need to go into the project folder to find the solver files. Which solver was it?

  Thanks for the reply. By solver do you mean Fluid Flow (Fluent)? (this is what I'm using)
  If not, can you please explain to me what do you mean by that?
  Anyways, this is what I get below the message I posted -
  Thanks again.

  OK, Fluent is good because we can find those and Fluent runs outside of Workbench. Open the project file and navigate in there, you're looking for a Fluent folder. In there you'll (hopefully) find FFF-8-Setup.... and even more hopefully something that's slightly newer with all of the settings. You'll want a data file too as that's the results. COPY those files into somewhere safe and then open them using Fluent in "standalone" mode, https://forum.ansys.com/discussion/30904/launching-fluent-in-standalone-mode
