CPU usage

I run Ansys CFX with an Intel Core i7 920 (4-core, 8 threads).
I would like to ask why the processor is never used to its maximum power. Whenever i make runs in CFX, i get only up to 13% load on the processor. Is there any way to exploit the full power of my CPU, so it will run close to 100% load? I am attaching a print screen picture to let you see.
