A.7. Launching Ansys Forte on Windows

To launch Ansys Forte on a Windows system, double-click the   shortcut on the desktop, or go to Start > Ansys 2024 R2 > Forte 2024 R2. This displays the Launcher with Simulate and Monitor options. Click the Simulate button to start working with an existing Ansys Forte project.


Note:  The Simulate and Monitor interfaces either will use the default memory setting you have specified in the Launcher (see Java Memory Settings) or they will prompt you to specify a memory limit. For auto-mesh cases, 8 GB is recommended. Larger cases could require even more memory.
