We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

@Ruzan, 

Academic licenses does not work with Ansys HPC licenses. The HPC license is only available for commercial/enterprise licenses.

Based on your current entitlement/licenses, you should be able to run a single simulation up to 1280 processes/cores. The simulation/project and the machine running the simulation will affect the performance. You can increase the number of processes/cores used to the run the simulation up to a point that increasing the number of processes/cores will not improve the performance. 

We have the following KB that might help:
