Hey guys!

I've recently tried to do a benchmark FSI simulation with CFX and, although all settings seem all right, it just won't start...
This is the output message from CFX:

This run of the ANSYS CFX Solver has finished.

Is this some kind of licensing issue? I did something very similar to what is in the tutorial manual, except with turbulence (SST) and 3-D physics. Neither of them have worked, with the same messages. Anybody with the same problem?? Please, gimme some light! Thanks.

It is not a licensing issue. The error message would say so if it was. If you can't run the tutorial examples then you have a problem with your installation or the way you have configured it. Have a look in the installation manual.

Thanks!

I'll have a look at that; recently my FLUENT has stopped working and I guess how many other problems may exist.

[ghorrocks]

That's a big clue. Your system sounds quite sick if Fluent is dead as well.
