SYMPTOM:
When trying to start CFX-Pre within Workbench, an error dialog box appears with the title 'Error in AdvancedCFD Applet'. The following error message is contained in the dialog:

'error in onActivate: socketError: Socket::Socket ' listen'.

When pressing 'OK' on the dialog, Workbench shuts down.

PROBLEM:
The cause of this error is a bad interaction between Ansys CFX software and the McAfee firewall software.


WORKAROUND:
1) Disable the McAfee firewall to allow CFX programs to run within Workbench,

OR,

2) Add Workbench and the CFX programs to the list of trusted programs for the McAfee firewall.
