ANSYS won't run
ANSYS won't run
(OP)
Hi,
I get the following error when trying to open ANSYS (not ANSYS workbench):
*** ERROR
Unable to open file file.lock for WRITE.
Check directory and file permissions.
Any advice would be appreciated.

RE: ANSYS won't run
1) Check to see if it prompts you for a Y or N answer in the output window. If it does just enter yes and you should be on your way. Whenever Ansys shutdowns abnormally it creates a *.lock file.
2) If that doesn't work can you simply delete the *.lock file which is in the working directory you're starting the program from? Or have you tried launching Ansys with a different working directory?
