HI all,

Just wondering if any of you have experience with ANSYS 2-way FSI in batch mode. I've successfully ran various tutorialss using WB GUI but as I need to run more complex cases, I need to set up batch mode scripts for clusters. I seem to get the following error message: 

Error: The System Coupling Service Shutdown Notification: Duplicate service provider - disconnected.

Error Object: ()

Anyone encountered this before?

I also tried to follow the SC tutorial from their user guide and run it on windows but again I get a similar error in Mechanical:

*** WARNING *** CP = 1.061 TIME= 09:51:55

Tcl command ""C:\Program Files\ANSYS

Inc\v161\ANSYS\lib\scripts\AnsServer.tcl" 5generated a stack trace.

generated a stack trace.

Check the ANSYS output for details.

tcl generated the following stack trace:
