How Can I Resolve the General Error Message in Ansys Workbench?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on resolving a "general error" message encountered in Ansys Workbench during mechanical analysis. The error indicates that the license is in use by another application, specifically Mechanical or Mechanical APDL. Users are advised to pause the conflicting application or wait for it to finish its task. The definitive solution proposed is to obtain a legal license for Ansys to avoid such conflicts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ansys Workbench functionalities
  • Familiarity with Mechanical and Mechanical APDL applications
  • Knowledge of software licensing and management
  • Basic troubleshooting skills for software applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to manage licenses in Ansys Workbench
  • Learn about the differences between Mechanical and Mechanical APDL applications
  • Explore best practices for resolving software conflicts in engineering applications
  • Investigate the process of obtaining a legal license for Ansys software
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for mechanical engineers, Ansys users, and software administrators dealing with licensing issues in engineering applications.

Hi all,

I learned to use Ansys workbench to do mechanical analysis, but never got any result.
It always show me an error message: general error happened.
The error details is below,
"The license is currently in use by another application in this
Workbench session such as Mechanical or another Mechanical APDL
application. You must wait until the other application has finished
its task (for example meshing) or manually PAUSE the other Mechanical
APDL application."

I have tried to stop some licenses but, did not work.
Can anyone give me a solution?

Clearly the best, and only solution would be to obtain a legal licence.
