  Hi, somehow I cannot find designmodeler when I right-click geometry, I can only find spaceclaim, I don't know if I miss an option to install that when I was installing Ansys. Is there anyway I can enable designmodeler? Thanks.

  And the licence type? Teaching, Research?
  
  Edit: Having checked you may not have a licence as the academic bundles were altered. Please check with the licence holder, and get in touch with your Ansys contact as needed.

  I believe it's research, but I am not 100% sure, how can I check it?

  If it's Research it'll let you open meshes in excess of 512k cells. You'll then need to get in touch with us to discuss extras for your licence.

  But, no matter it's student or research, I should be able to use Design Modeler for geometry, right?

  In theory yes. Can you check your licence for "agppi" and also screen grab so I can see what you've got. Add a new Geometry task, and right click to see what editors are available.

  It's like below, when I right click geometry, only SpaceClaim pops up.

  Mystery solved. You need a patch to get DM working. You'll need to download that from the Customer Portal.

  But aren't those for discovery?

  I was told they were more general. Did it work?

  It only includes the Discovery, which we do not have license for.
  Does it require a license to access DesignModeler?
