Ansys Your Product License Has Numerical Problem Size Limits Verified Fixed 💫

Alternatively, in Workbench:

If you are confident you have the correct license type, verify that your model hasn't accidentally grown beyond the licensed limit.

512,000 cells and nodes combined. Recent updates may support up to 1,000,000 cells. Electromagnetics (Maxwell): 64,000 elements for 3D volume. Why the Error Appears (Even if Mesh Looks Small) Alternatively, in Workbench: If you are confident you

ANSYS licenses often include —restrictions on the maximum number of degrees of freedom (DOFs), nodes, elements, or other solution-specific metrics. These limits are tied directly to your license tier (e.g., Academic, Professional, Enterprise). This document explains how to verify these limits within ANSYS and ensure your simulation complies.

Add a small Python script in Workbench that queries: Electromagnetics (Maxwell): 64,000 elements for 3D volume

Remember: This warning is a sign of growth. Your simulation fidelity is outgrowing your current license tier—which is exactly the moment to either refine your modeling discipline or invest in greater capacity. Do not fear the message; decode it, solve it, and get back to breakthrough engineering.

Limits vary by physics and version, but general caps for the Ansys Student version are: 128,000 nodes/elements. Fluid Physics (Fluent): 512,000 cells/nodes. Ansys Motion: 100,000 nodes per flexible body. Step-by-Step Resolution Guide This document explains how to verify these limits

If you exceed the licensed limit, ANSYS typically:
