Question ICEM CPU Usage

Hello;

I am doing a not so big mesh with ANSYS ICEM CFD, and I have the number of processors to almost all the computer has.

Still, while calculating the mesh, it just uses the 3 or 4 % of the CPU power of the computer, and the meshing takes really long time.

Is there anything else I should set up to run it in parallel mode, full power, so to speak??

Thanks!

bluebase will become famous soon enough
There is an option in the ICEM settings to define on how many cores ICEM shall run. Maybe this is not set correctly.

with regards,
Sebastian
