Ansys, FSI, piezoelectric micro-pump example

Ansys, FSI, piezoelectric micro-pump example

(OP)
Dear all:

I am using Ansys 12.1 and trying to repeat the Ansys example on MFX (coupled-field analysis guide 4.5, piezoelectric actuated micro-pump). I have followed the example exactly, but kept on having problem with the MFX launcher in ANSYS APDL.

After setting up the directory, input and definition files for ANSYS Run and CFX Run on the launcher, I have an error message of "The required cfx5solve.exe file was not found in the v121\CFX\bin subdirectory of the directory enter in the 'CFX installation directory' filed on the 'MFX-ANSYS/CFX Setup' tab, as is required".

It looks to me that the two parts of the program seem not talking to each other, but the starnge thing is both Ansys and CFX run perfectly individually. Does anyone have similar problem before?

Or is there any batch code that can avoid the launcher and get the MFX solution phase going?

Thank you for your help!
Best regards,

Ryan
