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.

  Hi everyone, i'm an Engineering student at University of Naples. I'm currently working with the student version of Fluent for a project and i would like to ask you some advice.
  I would like to ask you how i can use more computation power. My pc has an 8 core - 16 threads cpu and also a very powerful gpu. Can you tell me how can i use them?

  Student is limited to 4 cores parallel in Fluent and around 1 million cells. No gpu functionality is included in the licence. Exact numbers etc are in the section you downloaded the software from.
  The University Research licences will also allow additional parallel licences to be used, with no sensible limit to number of cores, providing you have sufficient hardware and paid for licences. The GPU solver has a similar set up, but some of the terms/options are a little different.
