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.

Solve Process Settings


I have a 4-core laptop. One of the defaults that ANSYS Mechanical has is to only use 2 cores to solve. For ANSYS Student 17.2, the license includes HPC, which means the ability to solve on more cores if you have them.  If you use a commercial ANSYS license, you have to purchase an HPC license (which is why the default is 2).


Click Tools, Solve Process Settings



Click Advanced... then type 4 into the number of Processors.



Repeat the process for My Computer, Background if you use that to Solve also.


Models will now take less time to solve!
