FSAE Tutorial can’t continue due to too fine a mesh

      During part 2 (mesh generation) of the FSAE cfd tutorial, after creating the volume mesh, I get the error:


       Please exit this session and start another session to continue. This is a student license, and can only be used

      with meshes containing less than 512000 cells or 512000.


      Then I can't even go back and edit the values on the BOI refinements because the entire ansys suite tells me I have no licence, so I have to redo half of the steps. What is going on? What's the point of the tutorial if we can't even do it?

      Some of the tutorials are designed for the Research/Commercial keys rather than the Student/Teaching licences.

      Seems a bit strange that a formula student tutorial doesn't work properly on a student licence...

      I think the FS teams have Research keys so it'll be aimed at getting a mesh to then run your own car. Most of the tutorials run on coarse meshes to make sure the Teaching/Student keys will run them.

      Ansys provides full licenses to student teams (no cell limit), to get one fill out the partnership form here:
       
      Note that Ansys has added a new CFD tutorial for Formula teams that walk-through CAD simplification and cleanup on real FSAE geometry (from the University of Pittsburg FSAE team), proper mesh settings and quality metrics, boundary conditions, run, and post processing:
