Ansys Discovery* Simulation “Explore Stage” Not Supported with Intel® Arc™ Pro GPUs

Content Type: Troubleshooting   |   Article ID: 000099227   |   Last Reviewed: 12/05/2024

Environment

Operating System Windows 11* Family, Windows® 10 family

Description

When trying to run the Explore stage of Ansys Discovery* with Intel® Arc™ Pro Graphics simulation analysis workloads, the process will fail.

The Model stage of Ansys Discovery* (modeling tools and workflows) is supported, allowing modeling tasks to be completed as expected by Ansys*.

The Refine stage is also compatible, but the use of the LiveGX solver is not supported.

Note: Some users may experience R2 not displaying the Refine Stage. R1 issue not seen. Ansys is aware. 

Resolution

This is expected behavior. Ansys Discovery* simulation solvers (the Explore stage) use proprietary CUDA code and, therefore, do not support Built-In or Discrete Intel® Arc™ Pro GPUs.
