Application Issues Checklist for Troubleshooting


In order to troubleshoot application issues we need the following information that will help us to get you up and running as quickly as possible. Login to the ANSYS Customer Portal (https://www1.ansys.com/customer/default.asp) and attach any files to your Service Request. If you are not sure of the answer you may leave it blank but contact you system administrator if you need assistance with any of the questions.
