  Good morning,
  
  One of our subscribers would like to run multi-core simulations using ANSYS' "Icepak" 2019 R1. We are subscribers to your "Campus Solutions" program, and the "Icepak" licence features are present in this bundle.
  
  They are:
  
  aiiges
  
  aice_solv
  
  aice_pak
  
  aice_opt
  
  aice_mesher
  
  In addition to these specific features, we also have aa_r_hpc and hfsshpc features. In theory, how many cores could a user request for a single Icepak simulation?
  
  Thank you,

  Hi CMC Microsystems Technical Support staff,
  
  The Icepak from AEDT will look for license features only. So, it will use aice_solv, hfsshpc, anshpc , hfsshpc_pack, anshpc_pack.
  
  Other license features that have Icepak 'capability' or HPC 'capability', can't be used. They can still be used if Icepak is launched in stand-alone mode or with Workbench.
  
  Thanks,
