ANSYS Mechanical Licenses @ 2021R2

Hi everyone,

I've been using Mechanical 2021R2 and when I attempt to post-process several cases at a time, I can't seem to post process them at the same time.  In past versions, I could.  For instance, when creating an animation (already too long of a process), it seems that I can only create them one at a time - not in parallel.  This is driving me nuts and I can't spend time to recreate the models in an older version.  When one analysis is reading the results or creating animations, all other analyses are in a "read-only configuration".

I have checked the following:

  1. Project Page/Tools/Options/Project Management - Share a single license between applications when possible is Unchecked.
  2. Mechanical/File/Licensing/License Options was set to have the Mechanical Enterprise PrepPost check out first.  I thought that was the issue so I switched to Mechanical Enterprise to check out first.  Then, I closed out of Workbench and reloaded it which should have activated the changes.  However, I get the same behavior as described above.

Is there anything else that I should try?  Have others ran into this issue?  Post processing is already a time consuming activity, I can't afford to have this license issue stop me from post-processing in parallel.

Irene,
You are not alone in noticing odd behavior after the upgrade. I admit to not having been rigorous in my troubleshooting as you have up to this point but just this morning I had to pop open ANSLIC_ADMIN to debug an issue. In my experience at least, ANSYS has never been great about releasing licenses after closing out Mechanical and I feel like it's getting worse with each release.

Not a helpful response I suppose but will feed anything back I hear about a resolution.

Dear Ms. Slater,
I have configured the license pool as you described in your check list. I opened two Mechanical instances from the same project and I started the recording of an animation in one of them. While the video file was being generated, the other Mechanical instance was in read-write mode; for example, I could start a recording in the other instance.

Riccardo,

Thank you for checking.  Just to confirm, you tried this with 2021R2 because past versions, for me, haven't been an issue.
If 2021R2, would you try one more thing?  Would you retrieve a results file and at the same time create an animation for another case?
I'll continue to check to see where my setup is incorrect.

Again, thank you for checking.

Dear Ms. Slater,
I used Ansys 2021 R2. I could produce a video file while retrieving a result file in another Mechanical instance belonging to the same WB project.
The detailed sequence was:

  1. Instance #2 --> click on the "Read Results File..." button in the Solution context toolbar
  2. Instance #2 --> choose the relevant .rst file and click ok
  3. Instance #2 --> the .rst file in being read and the result histories are being generated
  4. Instance #1 --> click on the "Export Video File" button in the "Graph" window
  5. Instance #1 --> choose a file name and click OK.

Step #3 was completed after step #5. No trace of read-only issues.

Best regards

Hi everyone,

I've been using Mechanical 2021R2 and when I attempt to post-process several cases at a time, I can't seem to post process them at the same time.  In past versions, I could.  For instance, when creating an animation (already too long of a process), it seems that I can only create them one at a time - not in parallel.  This is driving me nuts and I can't spend time to recreate the models in an older version.  When one analysis is reading the results or creating animations, all other analyses are in a "read-only configuration".

I have checked the following:

  1. Project Page/Tools/Options/Project Management - Share a single license between applications when possible is Unchecked.
  2. Mechanical/File/Licensing/License Options was set to have the Mechanical Enterprise PrepPost check out first.  I thought that was the issue so I switched to Mechanical Enterprise to check out first.  Then, I closed out of Workbench and reloaded it which should have activated the changes.  However, I get the same behavior as described above.

Is there anything else that I should try?  Have others ran into this issue?  Post processing is already a time consuming activity, I can't afford to have this license issue stop me from post-processing in parallel.

Dear Ms. Slater, I used Ansys 2021 R2. I could produce a video file while retrieving a result file in another Mechanical instance belonging to the same WB project. The detailed sequence was: 1. Instance #2 --> click on the "Read Results File..." button in the Solution context toolbar 2. Instance #2 --> choose the relevant .rst file and click ok 3. Instance #2 --> the .rst file in being read and the result histories are being generated 4. Instance #1 --> click on the "Export Video File" button in the "Graph" window 5.

Hi everyone, I've been using Mechanical 2021R2 and when I attempt to post-process several cases at a time, I can't seem to post process them at the same time. In past versions, I could.

Matt and everyone,

The "read-only" issue is happening with SpaceClaim too!
When it happens to SpaceClaim - oh, wow - it is just awful!
I couldn't imagine that anyone could ever work like this.
That awful pop-up read-only window is relentless .. well, maybe for an annoyed user like me.
It even affects exiting from SpaceClaim!
You have to be certain that one SC window is closed and then you can exit the other one.
Oh, and when SpaceClaim in in read-only mode, you can't really tell.
So, if you have 5 windows open, which one is the one that isn't in read-only mode?

Matt, I want to recognize the hint that you gave me:  go into the license tools and check the license status.
Sure enough, I have only checked out one license of SpaceClaim!
And that is even when I have the "share a single license" checkbox Unchecked.

I closed out everything and rebooted the machine.  That didn't help.
I tried the old trick, AppData/Roaming/ANSYS/v***_old.  That didn't help.

I figured it out though!  Here are the steps.  LOL

  1. Check the "share a single license" checkbox and exit.  That didn't help - as it shoudn't.
  2. Open WB again and UN-check the "share a single license" checkbox and exit.
  3. Open WB again and the "read-only" issue goes away.  (of course, if you have enough licenses available).

So, keep those steps in mind, if this ever happens to you.
And please let me know if this ever helps anyone.

Irene,
You are not alone in noticing odd behavior after the upgrade. I admit to not having been rigorous in my troubleshooting as you have up to this point but just this morning I had to pop open ANSLIC_ADMIN to debug an issue. In my experience at least, ANSYS has never been great about releasing licenses after closing out Mechanical and I feel like it's getting worse with each release.

Not a helpful response I suppose but will feed anything back I hear about a resolution.

Irene et all,

A coworker  of mine is having a similar issue. V2020R2 is not letting him
share the Enterprise license between Mechanical and Spaceclaim. If he
attempts to open Mechanical, it opens in read only mode because SpaceClaim
is grabbing the Enterprise license for geometry attach, even though he is
not working on geometry at that point (We do not have individual licenses of
SpaceClaim, only the one that is part of the enterprise license). The issue
does not occur with Design Modeler. We have opened an Ansys Support Ticket
to see what the issue is. Workbench is setup to share licenses between
applications, so we don't understand what is going on. If we get the issue
resolved, I will inform the group.

Best,

Matt and everyone,

The "read-only" issue is happening with SpaceClaim too!
When it happens to SpaceClaim - oh, wow - it is just awful!
I couldn't imagine that anyone could ever work like this.
That awful pop-up read-only window is relentless .. well, maybe for an
annoyed user like me.
It even affects exiting from SpaceClaim!
You have to be certain that one SC window is closed and then you can exit
the other one.
Oh, and when SpaceClaim in in read-only mode, you can't really tell.
So, if you have 5 windows open, which one is the one that isn't in read-only
mode?

Matt, I want to recognize the hint that you gave me:  go into the license
tools and check the license status.
Sure enough, I have only checked out one license of SpaceClaim!
And that is even when I have the "share a single license" checkbox
Unchecked.

I closed out everything and rebooted the machine.  That didn't help.
I tried the old trick, AppData/Roaming/ANSYS/v***_old.  That didn't help.

I figured it out though!  Here are the steps.  LOL 1. Check the "share a
single license" checkbox and exit.  That didn't help - as it shoudn't.
2. Open WB again and UN-check the "share a single license" checkbox and
exit.
3. Open WB again and the "read-only" issue goes away.  (of course, if you
have enough licenses available).

So, keep those steps in mind, if this ever happens to you.
And please let me know if this ever helps anyone.

You are not alone in noticing odd behavior after the upgrade. I admit to
not having been rigorous in my troubleshooting as you have up to this point
but just this morning I had to pop open ANSLIC_ADMIN to debug an issue. In
my experience at least, ANSYS has never been great about releasing licenses
after closing out Mechanical and I feel like it's getting worse with each
release.

Not a helpful response I suppose but will feed anything back I hear about a

Hi everyone,

I've been using Mechanical 2021R2 and when I attempt to post-process several
cases at a time, I can't seem to post process them at the same time.  In
past versions, I could.  For instance, when creating an animation (already
too long of a process), it seems that I can only create them one at a time -
not in parallel.  This is driving me nuts and I can't spend time to recreate
the models in an older version.  When one analysis is reading the results or
creating animations, all other analyses are in a "read-only configuration".

I have checked the following:

  1. Project Page/Tools/Options/Project Management - Share a single license
    between applications when possible is Unchecked.
  2. Mechanical/File/Licensing/License Options was set to have the
    Mechanical Enterprise PrepPost check out first.  I thought that was the
    issue so I switched to Mechanical Enterprise to check out first.  Then, I
    closed out of Workbench and reloaded it which should have activated the
    changes.  However, I get the same behavior as described above.

Is there anything else that I should try?  Have others ran into this issue?
Post processing is already a time consuming activity, I can't afford to have
this license issue stop me from post-processing in parallel.

Hello All,

Our Company had recently renewed Ansys subscriptions and was in for a rude shock when we realized new changes made with Ansys licences with effect from Aug 9th 2021 doesn't allow us to use Spaceclaim and Mechanical Enterprise/CFD Concurrently.

Even if we have Mechanical/CFD Enterprise licence, we will not be able to open or run CFD/Mechanical simulations if Space claim/DM session is active.

To independently work on geometry clean-up without disturbing Mechanical/CFD, Ansys recommended Ansys Discovery modelling which combines Discovery ,Space claim & Design modeller into one.

This is a terrible move and needless to say, I was more happy with Workbench R14 and older versions than 2021.

Kaushik Viswanathan,

Thanks for the tip Irene!  This has been making me crazy for quite some time!

Matt and everyone,

The "read-only" issue is happening with SpaceClaim too!
When it happens to SpaceClaim - oh, wow - it is just awful!
I couldn't imagine that anyone could ever work like this.
That awful pop-up read-only window is relentless .. well, maybe for an annoyed user like me.
It even affects exiting from SpaceClaim!
You have to be certain that one SC window is closed and then you can exit the other one.
Oh, and when SpaceClaim in in read-only mode, you can't really tell.
So, if you have 5 windows open, which one is the one that isn't in read-only mode?

Matt, I want to recognize the hint that you gave me:  go into the license tools and check the license status.
Sure enough, I have only checked out one license of SpaceClaim!
And that is even when I have the "share a single license" checkbox Unchecked.

I closed out everything and rebooted the machine.  That didn't help.
I tried the old trick, AppData/Roaming/ANSYS/v***_old.  That didn't help.

I figured it out though!  Here are the steps.  LOL 1. Check the "share a single license" checkbox and exit.  That didn't help - as it shoudn't.
2. Open WB again and UN-check the "share a single license" checkbox and exit.
3. Open WB again and the "read-only" issue goes away.  (of course, if you have enough licenses available).

So, keep those steps in mind, if this ever happens to you.
And please let me know if this ever helps anyone.

Regards,
Irene Slater

Irene,
You are not alone in noticing odd behavior after the upgrade. I admit to not having been rigorous in my troubleshooting as you have up to this point but just this morning I had to pop open ANSLIC_ADMIN to debug an issue. In my experience at least, ANSYS has never been great about releasing licenses after closing out Mechanical and I feel like it's getting worse with each release.

Not a helpful response I suppose but will feed anything back I hear about a resolution.

EXTERNAL MESSAGE


Hi everyone,

I've been using Mechanical 2021R2 and when I attempt to post-process several cases at a time, I can't seem to post process them at the same time.  In past versions, I could.  For instance, when creating an animation (already too long of a process), it seems that I can only create them one at a time - not in parallel.  This is driving me nuts and I can't spend time to recreate the models in an older version.  When one analysis is reading the results or creating animations, all other analyses are in a "read-only configuration".

I have checked the following:

  1. Project Page/Tools/Options/Project Management - Share a single license between applications when possible is Unchecked.
  2. Mechanical/File/Licensing/License Options was set to have the Mechanical Enterprise PrepPost check out first.  I thought that was the issue so I switched to Mechanical Enterprise to check out first.  Then, I closed out of Workbench and reloaded it which should have activated the changes.  However, I get the same behavior as described above.

Is there anything else that I should try?  Have others ran into this issue?  Post processing is already a time consuming activity, I can't afford to have this license issue stop me from post-processing in parallel.

Regards,
Irene Slater
