Knowing that the student version has the 512K cell\/node limit, I limit the total number of cells\/nodes below the 512K. However, in the midst of System Coupling solving, I get &quot;(DO 0) This is an educational executable, and can only be used with cases containing less than 512000 cells&quot;. Although I am not sure of why Fluent exceeded the 512K limit, I think this occurred because I am using the remeshing tool. remeshing may have increased the number of cells\/nodes.<\/p>\n<p>I can fix this issue by decreasing the number of cells\/nodes, but right now I cannot foretell whether Fluent will exceed the limit in the middle of solving. Whenever Fluent exceeds the 512K limit, I have to go back to Mesh, change the element size, update the mesh, and re-update Setup\/System Coupling which takes hours to solve. So, is there a method to limit the number of cells\/nodes while Fluent is solving?<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/7FFT8G7A0H3E\/image.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/7FFT8G7A0H3E\/image.png\" alt=\"image.png\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-47329","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-academ-licence-limit","topic-tag-dynamic-mesh","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-meshing","topic-tag-two-way-coupling"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["19529"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":["\/\u000e|?"],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["4792"],"_bbp_subscription":["248862"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["47329"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["25","199","174652"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["124423"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["124423"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-08-14 22:53:05"]},"test":"nyurons"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/47329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/47329\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
