1553140 : Launching Ansys Discovery/Space Claim¶

Created: 2025-11-17T10:58:38Z - current status: new¶

Anonymized Summary: A user is unable to launch Ansys Discovery or SpaceClaim from Ansys Workbench while connected to max-display.desy.de via FastX.

Possible Solution: 1. Ensure that the graphical applications are properly installed and accessible on the display node. 2. Verify that the FastX session is correctly configured for GPU acceleration, as Ansys applications require hardware acceleration. 3. Check if there are any known issues with FastX and Ansys applications by referring to the FastX documentation or contacting support. 4. If the issue persists, try accessing the display node via a different method (e.g., SSH or browser-based session) to rule out FastX-specific problems.
