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

Environment

Operating System Windows 11* Family, Windows® 10 family

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Summary

Describes a known issue where Ansys Discovery* does not complete simulation workloads using the Built-In Intel® Arc™ Pro GPU and Inte® Arc™ Pro discrete Graphics on Windows® 10 and Windows 11*.

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.

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.
