5.3. Running the ANS_ADMIN Utility for Mechanical APDL /Ansys Workbench Products

You may need to run the ANS_ADMIN utility to relink Mechanical APDL if you use the customization tools. For more information on individual options available with this utility, see the online help accessible from Help buttons on the utility dialog boxes. You can launch ANS_ADMIN without administrative privileges, but some of the options require administrative privileges. If certain options are grayed out, you do not have the necessary system administrator privileges necessary for that option, or the corresponding product may not be installed.

To run the ANS_ADMIN utility from Windows 10 or 11, right-click the All apps> Ansys 2024 R2> ANS_ADMIN 2024 R2.
