Sorry if this is a repeat question. I've done some searching, but other questions related to this don't seem to help. I'm using ANSYS V18.2 and can easily get many cores to work in CFX, but when meshing I can't seem to get it to use more than one core. This is frustrating, as I have a pretty robust machine (Dual Xeon 8-core, 96GB RAM). In the task manager, I see the AnsMeshingServer.exe using 5% CPU, and the AnsysWB Module using another 5%.



I've tried a couple of things already. In the "Details of Mesh" under Advanced, there is a "Number of CPUs for Parallel Part Meshing," but that has no effect. Also, under Tools > Options > Meshing > Meshing I can set the number of cores for Meshing Methods and also for Parallel Part Meshing, but these also do not seem to have an effect.


Is there a licensing option for parallel meshing separate from parallel operation of CFX and FEM sims?


Thanks in advance for any useful advice.
