Ansys Your Product License Has Numerical Problem Size Limits Verified -

The Ansys solver checks the , not just the total sum of the nodes. When you configure Remote Points, MPC Contacts, or Springs , Ansys creates virtual elements and often increments the node IDs exponentially into higher number pools (e.g., jumping from ID 28,000 to ID 35,000). The solver reads "ID 35,000", assumes you exceeded the 32,000 limit, and fails. How to Verify Node IDs and Statistics Click on the Mesh branch in the Ansys Mechanical outline. Open the Details Window and expand the Statistics section. Note down the literal count of nodes and elements.

The specific limits vary depending on the physics environment and the type of academic license being used. Physics Type Ansys Free Student Limit Higher Academic Tiers (e.g., Research) 32,000 nodes/elements Up to 512,000 nodes Fluids (CFD/Fluent) 512,000 nodes/cells No limit (on full licenses) Electromagnetics Specific limits vary by version Scaled based on license tier Common "Hidden" Triggers The Ansys solver checks the , not just
