The fastest and least intrusive fix involves resetting your local configuration cache. ANSYS automatically recreates these directories with fresh, default settings upon the next startup.

Check memory and swap
: Save your project on a local drive rather than a cloud-synced folder (like OneDrive) to prevent file-locking conflicts.
If you are still having issues, it may help to check the to see if others have experienced the same issue with your specific version. The fastest and least intrusive fix involves resetting
Navigate to your local app data by typing %localappdata% in the address bar. Locate the second folder and rename it to Ansys.old .
If GPU acceleration (via NVIDIA CUDA or OpenCL) is enabled, and the GPU drivers are mismatched, memory on the device can become corrupted. The solver will eventually try to copy results back to host memory, encounter a parity error, and abort. To help you faster, could you tell me: are you using
Create a new, simple static structural analysis (e.g., a cantilever beam with a single load). If that solves, the problem is model-specific. If it also crashes, the problem is environmental (software, drivers, or hardware).
