Elbow Tutorial

WesleyW · May 2, 2014, 06:05

Hi all,

I am new to using CFD programs and require to use ANSYS for a research project at university.

I am running into a problem when I first start fluent after creating the geometry and mesh for the first tutorial in the ANSYS Fluent tutorial guide.
The error message I get is:

Unable to connect to external socket: error during socket creation.

What does this mean and how do I solve the problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Wes

Disable your VMware network connections, then it will work.
