An unexpected ( SIG$SEGV ) has occurred...

This error occured when I was solving a static analysis in parallel using 8 processor HPC license in workbench V14.0.

I have changed the size of the global mesh slightly fron 4 mm to 3.9 mm and solved the error.

Failed to load addin Ansys.Simulation.Core.Addin from location C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v140/Addins/Simulation/bin/Win64//Ans.Simulation.Core.dll. This addin will be skipped.: The given configuration file path does not exist!

This error occurs when the following file "SolverInventory.xml" is missing in C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v140\aisol\bin\winx64

This occurs in V14.0 and Ansys tech support confirms that they corrected this in v14.5


To work arround, Just copy and paste "SolverInventory.xml" from C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v140\aisol\bin\winx64 from any other workstation where Ansys is working fine or re install the Ansys.
