In the Refine stage, Discovery issues this error message:
A connection to the solver could not be established. The Refine stage is
unable to solve.
This error message may indicate a .NET 8 runtime installation problem. Follow these steps to verify whether this is the problem and correct it:
Open a terminal in the directory: <ansys-install-location>\<version-dir>\artemis\bin\Win64
For example:
C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v242\artemis\bin\Win64
Issue this command to run the artemis server:
Ansys.Artemis.Server.exe
Review the command output. If the command output includes a message like the following, the .NET 8 runtime installation problem has been identified:
It was not possible to find any compatible framework version. The framework 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '8.x.x' (x64) was not found.
Install the missing framework cited in the message.
For details, see https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0.
Issue this command again to verify the framework (runtime) installation:
Ansys.Artemis.Server.exe
Review the command output. If the command output no longer includes a message like the message shown in step 3, the problem has been corrected.
Press
+ to close the server.
