Cannot see residuals while solving

January 26, 2009, 23:28

Ok so I did a clean install of vista 64 and now I have a weird problem. When I run the simulation, I can see the text information on the right but where the residuals are supposed to be, it's just gray. When I try to create a new monitor, I can't select any variables. However, when I stop the simulation, sometimes the residual graphics appears.

I have tried uninstalling CFX and reinstalling, but the problem persists. I haven`t tried a complete reinstallation of ANSYS yet. Could this be just some sort of problem with options setting?

Any solution proposition are welcomed!

Hi,

Sounds like a graphics card issue. Have you checked your graphics card driver is up to date?

Yes my drivers are up to date.

It could be a graphic problem, but I can't add a monitor either, so that's probably not it.

Ok so if I create a new simulation, everything works fine.

But when I try to run previous simulations, I run in the same problem.
