Hi there,

when I try to start Workbench I get the error message:

Unecspected error: Der Typeninitialisierer für "Ans.core.Units.UnitsManager" hat eine ausnahme verursacht.

If I display error details this is what I get:

Has anyone an Idea how to solve this Problem?

I have the same problem here.

Windows 7 64 bit with Ansys WB 64bit.

hi bernd.ruessel

With help from ANSYS a was able to solve my Problem.

The error message shown in your screenshot: Unexpected error: The type initializer for 'Ans.Core.Units.UnitsManager' threw an exception. ... is indicative of a particular type of installation error, which usually only occurs on Windows Vista, and possibly Windows 7. If it is Windows Vista or Windows 7, is there any chance that you installed the software without disabling user access control (UAC) or without running the installation as an administrator? In particular, if you failed and tried again with UAC disabled, it's possible that there are some environment variables which may have been left over from the previous failed installation. What sometimes happens is that without UAC disabled, the software installs in 'C:\ANSYS Inc' instead of 'C:\ANSYS Program Files\Inc' and certain environment variables are set. If the installation is repeated with UAC disabled (or as an administrator), the software installs in 'C:\ANSYS Program Files\Inc', but the environment variables are not updated. I would recommend checking the following: - Check where the software has been installed. Usually 'C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v121'. - Go to 'Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables' - Look for the environment variable AWP_ROOT121. Make sure it is set to the location where the software is installed. It should normally be 'C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v121', but it may be incorrect. If it is incorrect, change the value of this environment variable to the correct location. - Try running Workbench again. Hopefully that will fix the problem.

I hope this will solve your problem to.

Workbench still not working!
I have also a Notebook with:
Windows 7, 64 bit, and Ansys 12.1 WB 64bit not working.
Have someone an other suggestion to solve my Problem?

[alexmeier]

Can you specify what is not working?
did you change all the Environment Variables mentioned?

[bigB]

I don`t find: Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables' - Look for the environment variable AWP_ROOT121.
Is it under Ansys Inc?
Could you please take Screenshots?
Thank´s for help.
My Notebook is an i7. Could this be the problem?

[alexmeier]

Here you are
I hope this will help you.

[bigB]

I can start the Workbench.
Thanks!!!

Hello,

Excuse me, i'm bad in english.

First, I'd like to thank you all for your help.

I had this problem, I have checked the environment variables, but they were correct.

I removed ansys and the antivirus software. I removed also all the keys of ansys and the antivirus in the register (regedit) ( !!! be careful when you manipulate the register !!!)
I restarted the computer and reinstalled ansys. Now I can run Ansys workbench.

I hope this could help someone.

Thank you !!
