An problem with Ansys program 1

[ansysfreak]

Hi

I'm new on the Ansys program, so this could be an easy question.
Wenn i want to select something jou will get a menu. But i often don't get this menu and then after restarting the program everything works again.
Could anyone tell we what this problem is?

Try to press the button to the right of the command line on the Ansys GUI.

Hope it helps!

Hi,
mihaiupb's suggestion refers to the "rise hidden" command: it takes the focus back on the auxiliary menu windows (pick, select entities, mesh tool, etc...) after they have been "hidden" (i.e. put to background) by a click in the main window.
But I fear the problem described is another one: I've come accross this problem several times and never could completely explain it: sometimes the pick menu does NOT appear any more when you invoke it from a menu or even from the command line (e.g. with "NSEL,s,pick"); in this case, the only solution is to restart ANSYS.
It's probably a matter of compatibility with the graphical hardware (problem in my case seems to have disappeared after I changed graphical card to a FireGl T2), or perhaps also a GUI instability (I remember it was VERY annoying with v. 8.0, now with v. 9.0 I don't have this problem, and neither did I with previous v. 7.0 which used the "old" GUI layout).

Regards

You have described a known bug in ANSYS. If that happens, press CTRL-SHIFT-DEL at the same time. This will reset the GUI - and you'll get a nice message from ANSYS saying "sorry".
