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!
