ANSYS AIM 18.0 student.
In brief, I am trying to find the geometry file for the ANSYS AIM tutorial "Getting Started part 1".
The file is named manifold_structural.scdoc.
Here is a link to the YouTube tutorial video...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M05e...ature=youtu.be
30 seconds into the first tutorial and I am stumped.
.
My story:
I have done a search of my hard drive for scdoc files, but manifold_structural was not found.
I have looked on the ANSYS web site, but unable to find any source. The Library_Resource page will not load for some reason (get some categories, but nothing else happens when I click on category, just a spinning wheel for hours).
Google searches "manifold_structural.scdoc" produce no results.
Tried to register with ANSYS customer portal for help but cannot register because I have no business email address (I'm a student).

I had started with version 17.2, and the tutorial "Getting Started part 1" featured a fluid flow using a curved pipe. Same problem, no geometry file, and the video was so blurry I couldn't see the name of the file they were selecting. So I tried updating to ver 18.0.

2 days of searching, frustration and dead ends.
I need some help. Just don't embarrass me with an easy answer, please.
Thank you.

I give up. 30 seconds into the "Getting Started part 1" tutorial for ANSYS AIM and I am at a complete stand-still. Can't find the example file used in the tutorial. I have wasted way too much time on this omission.

So I went over to the SimFlow web site and took a look at their tutorial videos. Each tutorial video has a "For this tutorial, you will need..." and there is a list of the file downloads needed to follow the tutorial! How easy is that!
So I think I will switch to SimFlow and start learning this CFD stuff.
