Good day, i would like to know if there is any way to run Ansys on Parallels, it requires the openGL 4.5 version, and Parallels supports only the 4.1 version as I know. is there ansy wayto solve the problem? when the 4.5 version will be available?

Hello!
Does Ansys run in your Windows virtual machine? If not, would you share a screenshot of the error + generate a technical report at the moment of reproduction (click Parallels icon > Help > Send technical data > check "Attach screenshots..." > press Send Report) and send the report's 9-digit ID in your reply.

Thanks you, Ansys actually works almost fine, but it is not possible to work without seeing the geometry and the mesh, it requires opengl 4.5. when will it be available?

hello i have the same problem, could you tell me aswell what the sollution would be? i just downloaded parallels to run solidworks and ansys. i can import stuff into ansys but then when i want to "Solve" i get the error that the application requires the use of OpenGL 4.5.

 

[EdoardoC1]

I think there is not a solution yet....

 

[LucasV7]

hmm...what was your sollution? i am trying hyperworks rn

 

[EdoardoC1]

I don't have a solution for now, I'm using Ansys on bootcamp on an intel mbp16, but if I use it on parallels it won't make me see the mesh. I would like to upgrade to M3 macs but Parallels won't work for Ansys for now, let's hope they'll make the compatibility for opengl 4.5 soon...

Hello everyone, is there any news on this topic? I have a MacBook Pro with M3Max chip and would like to run simulations with Ansys on it. Unfortunately, I am also getting this OpenGL 4.5 error. I am grateful for any help

I need to run Pixera 1 on my Mac m1 processor, program start but ask tu update at least to OPEN GL 4.5.

[Edessa]

Same issue as everybody here, I also need openGL 4.5 to run Ansys. @Adarsh Jeetun, please follow up the progress and prioritize our requests. Thank you.

You can try using this: https://github.com/jimm98y/AnsysDiscoveryD3DEnabler It forces Ansys Discovery to use Direct3D 11 instead of OpenGL 4.6 and it bypasses all the compatibility checks, making it run in Parallels.
