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.

Additional suggestions:

Tools--> Options --> General --> Desktop performance --> Maxwell 3D --> no. of processors  is for pre/post performance - it does not affect solvers.

The A2000 will not be utililized as a compute GPU for Maxwell as it only offers single precision, please uncheck "GPU"
If considering GPU compute capabilities, please see our Platform page: https://www.ansys.com/it-solutions/platform-support
However, I would tend to discourage compute GPU as very project dependant.

Consider "Auto" mode when available. 
When selecting "Manual" mode, make sure you are enabling the correct Distribution types.

Is the project small? Perhaps the project does not require the extensive resources you are expecting.
