Windows |
From the Start menu select Ansys 2024 R2 > CFX 2024 R2. |
This opens the Ansys CFX Launcher, from which all other components of Ansys CFX can be accessed. You will usually want to start by setting your Working Directory (where all files will be written to) and then opening CFX-Pre by clicking the CFX-Pre 2024 R2 button. See Using the Ansys CFX Launcher for more information about using the launcher.
Note:
You can also start Ansys components from the command line (Starting Ansys CFX Components from the Command Line) or Ansys Workbench (Ansys CFX in Ansys Workbench).
For CFX, TurboGrid and CFD-Post applications, the graphics viewer, which is based on OpenGL 4.5, will work with Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Connection only if you are using Nvidia Quadro graphics cards with appropriate drivers for Windows 10. If you see an empty (black) viewer, try setting the environment variable
CFX_QT_OPENGL=desktopon the remote machine, in the local environment of the intended application (for example, in a shell or script that launches the application), before starting the application. Consider adding this environment variable to the cfx5rc.txt user’s configuration file. To work around this issue you may launch the CFX application prior to making the remote connection, or use one of the other Ansys-supported remote display methods.
