By default, when you deploy an evaluator, Ansys applications are automatically detected on the host machine, making them available for task execution. Detected applications appear in the properties of the evaluator in the Ansys HPC Job Manager. See Viewing and Editing Evaluator Properties in the Ansys HPC Platform Services User's Guide.

On a Linux machine, Ansys applications are only detected if installed under /ansys_inc or /user/ansys_inc folders or using the AWP_ROOTXXX environment variables. This limitation does not apply on Windows machines.

If applications are not automatically detected and displayed in an evaluator's properties, you can manually add applications to the evaluator's configuration.

Note that applications are automatically re-detected every time you restart an evaluator. This means that if you install an Ansys application on the resource and then restart the evaluator, the newly installed application will be listed in the available applications in the evaluator's properties. Similarly, if you uninstall an application, it will no longer appear in the evaluator's properties when you restart the evaluator.
