151 comments on ANSYS V11 SP1 Complete with CFX, Turbogrid and ICEM CFD

1.Posted by anter on Jan 21 2008 at 17:53

There has been a mix up. This is not the SP1 release, but only the V11 release. However, this torrent includes the SP1 license generator that also works with V11. I'm confident that you can use this to install CFX and ICEM with a working version of SP1.

There is a trojan horse in the a110sp1_calc.exe which is the key generator I think. Does anyone know if its a bad one? I was thinking of running it anyway and then getting rid of the virus after. Yes? No?

5.Posted by Trivandrum on Feb 11 2008 at 21:10

At first, I was unable to make it works. If you have trouble with the license, I suggest you to type your Hostname and FlexID manually.
ALso be sure that the checkbox is checked in LMTools (see step 6). Step-by-step:
1. Install Ansys 11 (autoexec.exe->Install Products-> Ansys Products)
2. Install License Management (autoexec.exe->Install Products-> Licence Management)
First question - Answer No
Second question - Answer Yes
3. Start-> Programs-> Ansys Flexlm Licence Manager
Open ANSLIC_ADMIN Utility
Choose: Show HostID... (2nd tab)
Write down: your Hostname and FlexID
4. Go back to the MAGNITUDE folder
open a11calc.exe
answer: no
type your Hostname
type your FlexID

i can't get this to work either
my keygen was also called a110sp1_calc.exe, although the bigger problem, although probably related is when i go to browse for the lmgrd.exe there is no such file to be found.
can someone help?

9.Posted by michielr on Feb 26 2008 at 14:10

The keygen I got is also named a110sp1_calc.exe. And my virus scanner also recognize this file as a trojon horse. Besides that I'm not capable of running the file. When I try the run the keygen windows gives the following error: " Windows cannot acces the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to acces the item. " My user account is set to administrator, so that won't be the problem.
I tryed to shut off the virus scanner, but I still get the same error when I try to run the keygen.

maybe I have to try the keygen named a11calc.exe instead a110calc.exe? Can anyone send me this keygen, of knows where to download it??

11.Posted by michielr on Feb 26 2008 at 22:38

I already solved the problem... It wasn't the keygen, but probably the virus scanner. On a other machine I can run the keygen whitout problems. So I generated the license file on the other machine, and copied it to my own machine. Now it works! Ansys is already running for some static structural analysis.

I follow the above steps in order to install Ansys but I have an error message :
Unable to connect to the license server.
Either the licence manager is down, or the client cannot communicate correctly with the licence server.

With LMTOOLS, I have this message performing Status Enquiry in the server status:

The program still doesn't fully work. I also tried that key gen chatobarca03 recommended.

Ansys works but Ansys Workbench does not. When I open Ansys workbench all I see is a 'Startpage' tab at the top and nothing else. The weird thing is the licenses appear to be working. Help!

Anyone else have this problem?

27.Posted by chatobarca03 on Mar 12 2008 at 04:19

That's weird, workbench works fine for me, i dont know how to use it yet though! but i started it and everything seems normal..
hey anyone doing low frequency electromagnetic analysis?
i will like some hints on that...
thanks!

29.Posted by joebloe224 on Mar 17 2008 at 00:57

@gambitking,

I am having the same issue. I followed Trivandrum's instructions, and the license on LMTools seems to be working, but when I open workbench all I get is an empty project icon. I don't see the rest.

Any suggestions anyone?

31.Posted by pierewiets on Mar 19 2008 at 09:50

I've tried trivandrum's instructions and chatobarca03 instructions, when you have an empty projection in workbench you open it as administrator in Vista then you see some project icons but no simulation icon.
Simulation doesn't work in workbench, workbench license not complete ??

Any suggestions anyone ??.

33.Posted by tolito on Mar 20 2008 at 11:15

Hey, I have many problems to intall Ansys 11.0, because in the cd I found a folder MAGNITUDe with the crak but my scanner virus detects a viurs trojan, so I cant use this crack and I tried in other PC and I got the license.dat and I change the name and hostid to use it in my PC, but it doesnt work. Someone can help me, please??

35.Posted by capaneo on Apr 06 2008 at 08:00

Can anyone who got this running share with the comunity that what exactly has to be done? Please in a step by step guide.

BTW im runnnig this on Vista. Should i reformat and switch to XP?

What exactly should I do after I install Ansys and then creat a license.dat and license.txt file.

37.Posted by gazt69 on Apr 07 2008 at 16:56

oh and i cant open the anslic_admin, it says "the ansyslic_dir environment variable must be set to run this utility" ??

39.Posted by towely on Apr 15 2008 at 03:02

and for those of you that have tried to install on vista, follow this:
1. download flexnet manager files from here (all 3):
http://www.globes.com/support/fnp_utilities_download.htm#unixdownload
2. rename the old files located in
X :\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\intel
3. copy the files you´ve downloaded and rename the files into lmgrd.exe, lmutil.exe and lmtools.exe
4. start the ansys licensing service with the ANSLIC_ADMIN Utility

the thing is that you just update the flexnet files so that they run on vista.
worked fine for me!

The installer lists LS-DYNA as one of the components included in the installation, but I can't find it anywhere once installation is complete. Everything else (Workbench, Autodyn, CFX, ICEM, etc.) is working perfectly.

Any tips?

49.Posted by alejoestela on May 06 2008 at 02:16

Hi, is CFX actually working on vista?? I was able to install all the ansys workbench products except CFX, it wont run for me.... any solutions?

@ Hubert505

Thanks a million brother! IT totally worked for me....I really really really appreciate your help

53.Posted by towely on May 12 2008 at 21:10

@alejoestela:

are you sure, cfx does completly not working? even the solver?
on vista i only can start the design modeler, the mesher and the solver. no cfx-pre and cfx-post.

but on my xp-machine everything works fine

i think that the full vista compatibility is coming with ansys 12

55.Posted by ajujot on May 25 2008 at 22:54

I am trying to import 3d model into Ansys work and the error I get is "Plugtime Error: the model failed to successfully generate in Designmodeler"...

Hi, I have had many proplems with the installation of Ansys 11 in Windows Vista. I have followed many advices of this page and finally, Ansys 11 works! Thaks a lot! But... I have a big problem yet. Although Ansys Multiphysics classic and Workbench works, CFX doesn't work in my computer when I try open CFX-Pre, with this message: "The application has encountered an unexpected problem and will now terminate:
Aborting due to unknown exception
Please report this error, along with the circumstances in which it occurred.
The following information may be useful to CFX support:
Unexpected error: Aborting due to unknown exception".

Can somebody help me, please? I had never had this problem with my old Ansys 10.0 in my Windows XP computer.
Please, help...

63.Posted by hubert505 on Jun 12 2008 at 22:32

@budale
There is some things to change (if my memory is good ^^).
I'll tell you what I did (maybe there is other way to make the job but...)

1 - Create a file flexlm on c:\ and copy your license on it.
Ajust the path on LMTools Utility (config services tab-»Path to the license file). Make sure that you have typed LMTOOLS ignores license file path environment variable (Service/license file tab) and Use Services (config services tab).
2 - Look after ansyslmd32.exe on the installation CD and paste it on C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\Intel
Rename it in ansyslmd.exe.
3 - When you want to launch Ansys, use LMTools Utility to start the serveur and Reread the license files (start/stop/reread tab)

Maybe the 1 is not usefull, I don't know.
I don't remember if I did something else. Just try and tell me if it works.

Hi guys, i got another problem here, hope someone can help me...

Installing the program and creating the license worked fine, the configuration of the License Manager was successful too. But when i try to start the license server i get the message "Access denied". Thats all. I tried different steps but none was successful.
Im working on Vista 64 bit. Well maybe thats the problem but i would prefere not to install a second OS therfor i hope someone can help me with this...

Oh and one other thing... i installed and uninstalled all parts of the program around 20 times now but i was never abel to uninstall the License-Manager. Theres neighter a uninstallation .exe in the folder nor the possibility to uninstall the program via System -> Programms (at least with Vista). Has anyone an idea how to uninstall the License Manager???

Thanks in advance!

69.Posted by Damo685 on Jun 26 2008 at 14:53

Does anyone know where I could download Service Pack 1 from? (as this torrent does not include SP1).

When i try and open files which were created in a legal version of Ansys (V11 with SP1) i get an error that says the files were created with a newer version of ansys

would be much appreciated

Cheers

Hi,

I read that the ANSYS package contains ANSYS AQWA too but can anyone tell me how can I install it. I manage to install ANSYS but I could not find ANSYS AQWA in the file.

Help and clarification is very much appreciated.

73.Posted by Trivandrum on Jul 21 2008 at 01:11

@ KevMini
I was trying to reinstall Ansys and I found an error in the installation procedure (see Comment 5.)

Step 2 should be:

2. Install License Management (autoexec.exe->Install Products-> Licence Management)
First question - Answer Yes
Second question - Answer No
Third question - Answer Yes

If you don't do that, it wont install lmtools properly (lmgrd.exe is missing, etc.)

75.Posted by flaircraft on Jul 22 2008 at 18:42

Does anybody know how to install CFX? Does it install automatically during the main installation process or is it separate? I have access to the CFX mesher but not CFX-Pre on my XP64 machine. There's supposed to be an "Advanced CFD" button in the Project tab in Workbench but it's not there. This (according to another forum) means that either CFX isn't installed, or I don't have the license. What does the line in the license file look like for the CFX license so I can doublecheck that I have it?

77.Posted by DrinkDrunk on Jul 26 2008 at 15:08

First of thanks to the uploader.
For anyone trying to use CFX or Turbogrid in Vista I got them working on mine here's a set of instructions I wrote

Fix CFX in vista home premium
1.)go to the directory "*:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v110\CFX\bin\winnt"
(* is the drive letter where the program is installed if you don't know this it is most likely C)
2.) find the file "PreEngine"
3.) Right click on "PreEngine"
4.) click on compatability tab
5.) Check "Run this program in compatability mode for:"
6.) Select "Windows NT 4.0(service pack 5)"
7.) Click on "apply"
8.) In this folder do the same for the file "PostEngine"

79.Posted by DrinkDrunk on Jul 26 2008 at 15:21

I also forgot two of the topology generators in cfx will not work and result in CFX getting hung. One of them is H-Dominant I can't recall what the other is.

5) Run LMTOOLS
a)In tab Service/Licence File check box LMTOOLS ignores licence file path...
b)In tab config services remove all services and create a new one...Service name:Ansys, fill in paths to lmgrd.exe(step 4) licence.dat files....then check "Use services" and "Start server at power up"...click on "Save service" button
c) In tab Start/Stop/Reread choose Ansys and press "Start server"
d) In tab Server status press "Perform status enquiry"...no errors should be found
e) Close LMTOOLS
6) Restart your computer
7) Run Ansys from the start menu
I´ve tried it on win Vista and it works...good luck

steps
follow the instructions given by Trivandrum from steps 1 to 5. after this follow the few given steps
STEP 1: go to the ANSYS DVD Launcher
STEP 2: install the license management once again, but this time install as a server. that is by click yes to 1st question and 2nd and 3rd question.
STEP 3: when it ask for the license file, browse to find the location of the license file that u generated using a11calc.exe, and install
Now follow the steps given by Trivandrum from step 6 to 8
have a great analysis...

89.Posted by ingen1 on Sep 12 2008 at 21:19

I had the same problem like gambitking and joebloe224. Ansys worked but Workbench didn't work. I did everything corectly followed to Trivandrum tips and Workbench didn't work permanetly.
I found the solution of my problem. It was some problem with my antivirus and firewall software (Zone Alarm). When I closed it Workbench started to work.
Maybe this hint will help someone.

I keep getting this.

lmgrd) The TCP port number in the license, 1055, is already in use.
lmgrd) Possible causes:
lmgrd) 1) The license server manager (lmgrd) is already running for this license.
lmgrd) 2) The OS has not "cleared" this port since lmgrd died.
lmgrd) 3) Another process is using this port number (unlikely).
lmgrd) Solutions:
lmgrd) 1) Make sure lmgrd and all vendor daemons for this
lmgrd) license are not running.
lmgrd) 2) You may have to wait for the OS to clear this port.
lmgrd) Retrying for about 5 more minutes

I tried changing the port not it did not work. Any suggestions?

@shrivathsa:

Have you tried a repair install? When I first installed I got some errors, a repair install fixed it.

@All who have had, of know how to fix this problem:

I have everything working but meshing and Simulation. Advanced Meshing, Advanced CFD, Geometry, Blade Geometry, AUTODYN, FEM, Multiphysics, CFX, Turbogrid, all work, but simulation and meshing do not display in the projects window in Workbench... Any ideas, this is probably the feature I would use the most.

I was thinking it may be the license but everyone else seems to be ok? It may be my OS, I am running XP Media Centre x32.

Anyone in the same boat, any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance

Hi everyone,

For the ones who run a win64 version of CFX11, do you have a real 64b version? Meaning: in CFX-solv, can you set 64bit in solver memory (or do you only have double precision available?)

I can't find a good 64b version of CFX, mine are only 32-bit versions that run on xp64 also.

Any help would be welcome!!

First of all, thanks to Trivandum for his great help

Now just to let you know what happened to me and how I fixed it

I installed everything as per post #5 and addendum in post #74 but when I opened ANSYS workbench I could access any modules other than "Empty Project" so I couldn't do any analysis. (No simulation, no modelling, no geometry, etc.)

I found out that when I installed the License Manager in Windows XP safe mode (the installer didn't launch in normal mode) the HostID was different than in windows normal mode.

So, I Installed the License manager and performed steps 3 to 8 in windows normal mode where I got a different HostID. After this everything works like a charm! Hope this helps

Hey , does anyone where how can i download the "Interactive Thermodynamics : IT " ? This software is widely used in the book by Howard Shapiro and Michael Moran so , as i use this book in order to learn the fundamentals of thermodynamics i thought asking here would be a nice try since ANSYS is related to engineering stuff. Thanks !
