  Hi, I imported a ACIS file into ANSYS DesignModeler. But it come out failed and said: "You have exceeded the allowable geometry limits for ANSYS Academic. You cannot Save or Export. "
  
  So what is the maximum limits can I have? Also, is it mean that I can still undergoes structural analysis but cannot save a soft copy.
  
  Or any solutions?

  The Student license limits for geometry are 300 faces and/or 50 bodies.
  
  Go back to the original CAD system and reduce the number of faces and/or bodies until you meet this limit.

  Thanks. How can I reduce the bodies? Do you mean to delete part of my structure? My structure is a 3 layers of steel frame with concrete slab.

  Yes, you have to remove faces until it is < 300 total if you have a Student license.
  
  Does your structure have a plane of symmetry? If so, you can cut the model in half and use a symmetry region to support the structure. That could reduce a lot of faces.
  
  Do all the edges of the steel have a small blend? If so, you can delete all the small blends.
