Hello,

I am using a classical system coupling model to couple a steady state thermal analysis with a fluent analysis.

while it was working with simple models since I implemented a more complex geometry, everytime i double click on the configution button of system coupling, my screen freezes and Ansys crashes.

Hello
Possibly the Ansys local settings became corrupt.

Exit Ansys completely.
In the File Explorer address field
Enter: %APPDATA%
...An Explorer Window will open
Open the Ansys folder...
Rename the vNNN folder to vNNN.old for the appropriate version.
( v221 = 20222R1, v212 = 2021R2, etc)
Try opening WB and Mechanical and see if it runs properly
=========================
The reason we say to go to %APPDATA% is that it is a hidden folder, and you would have to show hidden folders to browse to it.
For example:
my %APPDATA% refers to :
C:\Users\{my_user_name}\AppData\Roaming
then
C:\Users\{my_user_name}\AppData\Roaming\Ansys\v221
It will re-build the next time Ansys WB is run.
