An Error Occurred While Starting the Solver Module

To get further information on what the issue may be, insert a Solution Information object under Solution in the tree, and view the contents.

Possible reasons that the solver may fail are:

Solving and UNC Paths

If a Workbench database resides on a UNC path (for example, \\pghxpuser\Shares) for which you have write permissions, the ANSYS input file will be written successfully but will fail to start the solver executable. To solve, map a drive to the location and then reopen the project. If you did not have write permissions, Workbench will instead write the ANSYS input file to your temp directory (%tmp%) and perform a solution from that directory.
