Ansys nCode Virtual Desktop

Ansys nCode is supported on Windows virtual desktops that have Ansys Mechanical installed.

Follow the instructions in Creating a Virtual Desktop in the Administration Guide.

When creating a virtual desktop with Ansys nCode, use the following guidelines:

• Operating system: Windows Server 2022

• Applications: Install the Ansys Mechanical Enterprise package first (see Windows Virtual Desktop with Ansys Mechanical Enterprise). Once Ansys Mechanical Enterprise has been installed, add Ansys nCode to the virtual desktop (see Adding Applications to a Virtual Desktop in the User's Guide).

  Note: Ansys recommends that you create the virtual desktop without any applications, and then add the applications after the virtual desktop has been created (in the order specified above). Sometimes, Windows updates are triggered on newly created virtual machines, causing application installation to fail.

• Hardware: Select an instance type recommended for a Windows Virtual Desktop with Ansys Mechanical Enterprise.

When the resource is in the Running state and the Connect button is displayed at the bottom of the tile, you can connect to the virtual desktop. See Launching a Virtual Desktop Session in the User's Guide.
