We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

I have tried to run the simulation in different laptop which has higher no.of cores available than mine and then the simulation ran succesfully. Thanks a lot!
Instead of importing a solid model I assigned thickness to a shell structure thinking that it would reduce the meshing and solving time.
If I want to assign thickness of 0.5mm, should I increase the layers? if not after meshing each element seems like a cuboid and I wonder should I consider any ratio while assigning thickness to a shell structure?  
If I have to increase the layers please tell me where can I find that option ins ANSYS. I worked in prepomax but did not find the option in ANSYS. Also please tell me about the ratio of the width and height of element, whether should I consider that strictly (Incase if it wont give accurate results)
