I m done with geometry mesh setup and solution,but as soon as i try to open results i get an error sayin,CFX5POST.exe not found.
This is the actual error,
Error running C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v150\CFX\bin\cfx5post.exe -control-port 52655: The system cannot find the file specified

how do you open Post? Via command line? You might have to set the path in " " because of the spaces in the name (between Program and Files).
"C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v150\CFX\bin\cfx5post.exe"

Assuming of course that Post is properly installed in that directly.

i just double click on results and this error appears.

can you open Post manually? from the folder?
If yes, try to load your result file manually - at least for now...

[girishgaikar]

And can you tell me how to do that?

[girishgaikar]

i tried reinstalling but it didnt help

Go to C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v150\CFX\bin\ and open cfx5post.exe (double-click).

That initial error message also says something about a port. Maybe your firewall or anti virus program is blocking workbench from opening post. The windows firewall asked me when I launched programs from the workbench for the first if I want to allow it. Did you allow it?

[girishgaikar]

I disabled firewall actually..byt i didnt disable my antivirus.I will disable and i will try it again.I ll get back to you.

It turns out that my antivirus had corrupted my setup files itself.I downloaded new files and it worked.Thanks!

that Ansys software is indeed an evil virus

I also face the same problem, I have reinstalled ANSYS yet i face the problem, can you please tell me what to do?

This is what the error says
cfx5post.exe -control-port 50657: The system cannot find the file specified

I searched for cfx5post.exe in the bin folder as well, but i couldn't find any executable file.

Thanks in Advance

Hey i fixed it, all I needed to do was unistall ANSYS, clear all the AppData, temp files then disable firewall, disable my antivrus, then I installed it again.
