Hello

Serial solver by definition would mean it uses 1 core and then the job itself adds a second core, thus the 2.

to use more than 1 core, parallel should be selected.

please refer to https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v232/en/wb2_help/wb2h_submitprojrsm.html

 

you can try specifying parallel execution and 254 or 255 cores to remain under 256. Hope this helps
