  Hi,nour Lab in the university has a Maxwell Ansysy's student license and academic research license. I was wondering with this license how many cores of CPU we can use for simulation?nThanksn

  Hello Array,
  
  If you are running 2021 R1, you can use 4 cores.

  Hello Array ,
  Thank you for your replying.
  Even if we have an Academic research license? I saw if we have an academic research license we can use 16 cores of CPU. I am doing the simulation of the electrical motor in 3D and it takes so long. I saw here we can use 16 cores of CPU to decrease the simulation time. Also, we want to get a new computer with powerful CPU that has a multicore to accelerate the simulation. Based on your answer we can not use more than 4 cores of CPU for simulation, even if we have an academic research license, am I right?
  Also, do you have any suggestions to increase the speed of simulation?
  Thank you for your help and consideration.

  Hi Saeid,
  Thank you for reaching to us and we regret that this post was not answered for a long time. I am providing the required details so that other users who are searching for this can get benefited.
  My colleague said that you can use upto 4 cores for student version of AEDT. Regarding academic research license, you are right. You can use 16 cores for accelerating the simulation.
  Best regards,
