Ansys Software Free Download For Windows 10 64 Bit
Matty Fiedler
I'm running into some problems installing and running ansys. Windows 10 is the only platform that the student package is supported on, but there are no more supported windows 10 for ARM images. Only windows 11 for ARM. I'm running windows 11 on parallels and completed the installation using the instructions from this video. . Unfortunately, when I try to run a very simple test program in ansys mechanical, I get the following issue. Is this something that people recognize? Could this be caused by running in windows 11?
We've been testing Win11 internally with minimal issues other than a few hiccups finding DOS prompts and the like. It's possible there's something missing in the Mac interaction stuff as I suspect they didn't expect you to need compilers. 2023R1 is due "soon", so that might fix the issue as that's (I think) supported on Win11.
I'll check. That document may not yet be on the system as we're still adding 2023R1 to the system. Note, the document mentions it's a small number of products so you may find it's not the one you're after.
I used the same video to install ansys on my M2 mac. Fluent is working fine so far. I get the same error message though when I try to launch APDL and also when I try to solve in mechanical. Would you please advise whether this is a mac silicon compatability issue? If so, any expectations to having it resolved in the near future? And if it should work fine on mac, what possibly could I have done wrong?
Strictly speaking we don't support any Mac installation. Some of the software will work with the emulators, but as we don't test (or compile for) Mac OS it's difficult to say what will happen with the various codes & updates, Mac updates and emulator updates. The Student code is Windows only, the "full" version(s) are Windows (10 & 11) and several flavours of Linux/Unix.
I had this issue as well, but ANSYS engineers were able to fix it. They installed various MS Visual C++ Redistributable files starting with version 2010 for both x64 and x86 systems. Installing the last versions of the MS Visual C++ Redistributable files as shown in the above youtube video is not enough. The ANSYS engineers also unistalled and reinstalled my ANSYS package, deleting hidden files, etc. I don't remember all the steps, but it seems that we need to unistall everything, including the MS Visual C++ Redistributable files, reboot, and reinstall the programs, one by one, starting with the 2010 MS Visual C++ Redistributable file, reboot, and then install ANSYS. My ANSYS Mechanical and APDL is running just fine on my 2021 Apple M1 Max through Parallels.
Thank you very much, I'll keep an eye open hoping it will eventually get solved, it's really a great thing to be able to use simulation software through parallels not to be having to carry 2 laptops ;), Ansys mechanical would be a wonderful addition.
It's very funny that all the more modern software runs (space claim, workbench, the gui and application for mechanical) until you acutally try to solve, then some fortran component tries to run, and is making some invalid assumptions about the underlying hardware, and the whole thing crashes. It's amazing that the actual solving is still being handled by something written in fortran. If it's made it this long in the software, I don't have much hope for it being updated any time soon.
GUI side is fairly easy, it's when you solve that all of the maths, numerical methods etc kick in. So it's not all that surprising that the emulators hold all the graphics stuff but not enough of the other libraries.
Going to the Mac OS bit. We do monitor what's used in the world, but other than some laptops I don't see Mac OS anywhere. The bulk of Ansys compute is done on clusters, historically on UNIX/Linux and, more recently, Windows. I also teach at a University for a session most years, out of 50-100 students I rarely see more than 1-2 with Macs: that may be a UK bias but I suspect not. What you may find is the Linux builds can run on Mac, but I've never known anyone try it, and Student isn't built for Linux. If any of this changes then Ansys will review the supported platforms. When I bought my first PC Mac OS didn't have a Fortran compiler available, and at nearly twice the price for the hardware it meant engineering students went towards desktop PC.
Has anyone had any luck with Mechanical in 2023R2, I have again tried all of the above from scratch and a few times and mechanical still won't run. I just need to know to let this go for a while, thanks!
I am encountering a similar issue while running ANSYS 2023 R2 on Windows 11 via Parallels on my M2 MacBook Pro. Fluent operates without any problems, but the geometry, surfaces, and other elements remain invisible even after updating in Design Modeler. On the contrary, Static Structural proves to be challenging; the model section throws an error related to my OpenGL version (4.1 metal) and indicates it requires version 4.5.
Any information will be here -solutions/platform-support/previous-releases Note, Student only exists for current and upto two previous releases. However, older versions of Ansys may not work well on Win11, so you may just find some new problems trying an older version.
It seems Ansys 2023R2 has some problems with M1 Mac + Parallel Desktop + Windows 11 when using Design Modeler with 3D objetc who are not displayed correctly. What should we do to correct this. Is it a problem from OpenGL or from MS Visual C++ Redistributable ?

It is fascinating to compare experimental and simulation test results for a tensile test specimen. The ability to conduct tests virtually, rather than physically, utilizing virtual simulations for testing not only increases efficiency but also leads to significant cost savings. In this crosstalk, we will address some of the challenges typically encountered in uniaxial tensile simulations.
What does ghost display mean? Is mechanical not opening on your primary display? If you were working on multiple screens, and display has been set to "second screen" only. Once you disconnect the additional screens, sometimes apps still open in those screens. Is this the same case? To overcome this, make sure you switch back to PC screen, when you're disconnecting additional screens. Or go to taskbar, hover on mechanical icon, a small preview will pop up just on top of it. Right click on the preview, and click on restore button.
Thank you both Nanda, I'm not sure exactly how but after restarting the computer, opening ANSYS, moving it back off the phantom display (I have 2 monitors and ANSYS always opens off both of them) and then using the restore windows (shift right click on windows toolbar icon) and then using the reset layout everything works as it should now. Really appreciate the help, thank you.
i have had some trouble with getting Ansys Workbench up and running, i installed the 18.2 Ansys Student on my 64bit win 10 system. It showed a error stating something about registrating GraphScene. With some troubleshooting i discovered a old forum thread stating that there cannot be any special letters in the windows username, and i made a new account to test this out. This worked and now i have to switch user each time i want to work on my structural engineering course. This is of course much better than not having Ansys at all, but i wanted to report the bug to you with hopes that this would not be a problem for future students.
Workaround: Extract the Ansys Student 18.2 installation zip to C:Ansys (or another path not containing any special letters), install ansys as usual and create a windows username not containing any special letters and run Ansys from this user only.
EDIT: I was also sucessful in running the ANSYS Workbench from my regular user by editing the shortcut to Workbench by adding "runas /savecred /user:YOUREXTRAUSERNAME" before the path, enabling me to use the Workbench as usual but with the addition of the extra user.
Just curious, how were you able to resolve this? I've been trying to hunt down S1 exclusion list for ANSYS and no dice so far. This is exactly the issue I'm seeing with my client and trying to figure out what adjustments need to be made.
My workbench ANSYS2021 R2 refuses to open properly. The program loads and then shows 'initializing Licensing', the Workbench disappears off the screen and shows nothing. I can open other parts of ANSYS like SpaceClaim but not Workbench. I try to uninstall and install back. I don't know where the problem is. Any help is appreciated.
