To minimize graphics problems, always verify that you are running the latest graphics drivers provided by your computer's hardware manufacturer.

If you are running Ansys Workbench on Linux and experience problems at startup or with the GUI or graphics displaying correctly, and you are running in accelerated graphics mode, you may need to relaunch Ansys Workbench using the -oglmesa flag to activate software rendering:

runwb2 -oglmesa

If Ansys Workbench detects that graphics problems are causing crashes, it will automatically switch to software rendering. Ansys Workbench also will use software rending mode by default when running on a remote display, or on a local display if the hardware does not appear to be accelerated.

To revert to accelerated graphics mode, launch Ansys Workbench using the -oglhw flag:

runwb2 -oglhw
