A general failure occurred during the solution process.

Pled · May 21, 2019, 11:39

I am trying to run explicit dynamics, but after AUTODYN PRE-SOLVER SETUP is complete the solution stops and the following message is displayed "A general failure occurred during the solution process."

I have installed the same ansys version on another pc and everything works ok. RAM is the same, processor is the same, both nvidia GPUS.

What could cause such an error?

I have tried to open aytodyn component from workbench but the following message appears.
