This error just appeared upon launching the workbench...you can skip the error, but after that when creating a structural analysis and it's OK to edit the geometry. However once done with the geometry, close the window back to workbench, the following model,solution and result all have a 'black cross' sign instead of usual lightning sign (Please refer to the attached pictures for detail of the error). And it just can't edit anything from there. I reinstall for a few times but the errors just kept popping out during the startup of workbench.

I see problem with installation, re-install Ansys!
