Does Ansys code exploit quad-core processors?

Does Ansys code exploit quad-core processors?

Does Ansys code exploit quad-core processors?

(OP)
Every time i do a run in Ansys, my Intel i7 processor only works at 12-13%, maximum 19-20%.
When i had a classic single core processor i remember that it was used at 100%. I cannot understand why i cannot exploit my powerfull processor with Ansys. Maybe there is an option in Ansys or Ansys software code cannot exploit quad-core processors yet? Thanks!

RE: Does Ansys code exploit quad-core processors?

You have to pay for the capiblity to fully handle mulitiple core processors. You can contact the VAR where you purchased the software. The last time I looked into it the cost was ~18K plus yearly maintenance fee (HPC Sever).  You can use cpu power from other PC's over a network etc.  They should have a less expensive package that allows you to use 4 or 8 cores on a stand alone machine.  Maybe someone else has better or more up to date information.

RE: Does Ansys code exploit quad-core processors?

In the Ansys Product Launcher are you specifying more than one CPU?  If not try 2 or more.  I believe special licensing kicks in above that.  You have a good machine from the sound of things and may not need it.
