I have recently installed ICEM CFD 5.1 (no service packs) onto my laptop (Windows XP Pro) with Unigraphics NX3 installed. I have a trial ICEM CFD license (ANSYS daemon) for the laptop which includes the Direct Interface for Unigraphics license key aipiug. When opening Unigraphics NX3 I get the ICEM CFD Grid Generation option under the Applications menu but when I select it I get the message:
No ICEM UG Direct Interface licenses available.
Either all licenses are in use or there is a license configuration problem.
If you need a license file, please consult the ICEM CFD documentation
for information on obtaining one. If you already have a license file
try using the Probe License feature under the ICEM CFD menu or call ICEM CFD
technical support for help in troubleshooting your license configuration.
The ICEM CFD menu still becomes available at this point.
ICEM CFD as a standalone application starts fine, and the ANSYS license manager is up and running. I have set the ICEM_ACN and ICEM_LICENSE_FILE environment variables myself but this has not resolved the problem. Any ideas as to how to get this working?

Unigraphics version NX3 is not supported by ICEM CFD 5.1 though it will be by ICEM CFD 10.0; version 5.1 supports version 18.0, NX and NX2 andthe interface files needed for these versions are installed in the directory <ICEM_ROOT>difuglibug where <ICEM ROOT> is the installation directory for ICEM CFD (by default this is c:program filesansys incv90icemcfd5.1-win). During the installation of ICEM CFD 5.1 the variable UGII_VENDOR_DIR had been set to <ICEM_ROOT>difuglibugug20_vendor_dir (ug20_vendor_dir contains the interface files for version NX2 of Unigraphics). Installing the interface files for Unigraphics version NX3 (from directory ug21_vendor_dir in ICEM CFD 10.0) overcame the problem. The variable ANSYS100_DIR had to be set to %ICEM_ACN%/bin in addition to installing the NX3 interface files. |
