Release 14.0.3 Readme
This document provides instructions for installing Release 14.0.3 on all Windows and Linux systems supported at Release 14.0. This service pack corrects an error in ANSYS Mechanical APDL when running a mode superposition harmonic analysis. In Release 14.0, if you attempt to run a mode superposition harmonic analysis (ANTYPE,HARMIC and HROPT,MSUP) on a large model (generally, more than 500,000 degrees of freedom), you will get a crash (if running Mechanical APDL standalone), or will stop during solution with no error message (if running Mechanical APDL within ANSYS Workbench).

Prerequisites
You must already have ANSYS 14.0 Mechanical APDL installed.

Download Instructions
You will need to uncompress this service pack using standard uncompression utilities for your specific platform. We strongly recommend that you extract the files into a new, temporary directory. Then, follow the installation instructions below for your platform(s).
