Error during solution

  Hello, I have set the geometry and the model too but i can not have the results. After I press solve, it can not solve the equations because of an unknown error. Then it suggests for me to look in the Solution Information and when I look there it appears a message saying that the requested number of distributed-memory processes (2) exceeds the number of physical processors that are available on machine (1). Then it requires me to use a maximum of one distributed process on this machine.
  
  Btw, I use a macbook pro with a virtual machine with the windows 10 x64 installed.
  
  If someone knows how to solve this, i would be really happy.

  This is easy to fix. Start ANSYS Workbench and open the project you built. Double click on Model to start Mechanical. In Mechanical, Tools, Solve Process Settings...
  
  You will see My Computer highlighted. Click the Advanced Button to show this dialog where you will uncheck Distribute and type 1 for Max number of utilized cores.
  
  You only have to do this once (unless you reinstall).

  The error message clearly states that the max number of utilized cores is currently set to 5, whereas you have only two physical processors. Therefore you need to set the number of processors to 2(or 1).nThis thread might be of help!n
