Hello everyone,nI have been looking up this subject in the forum for the past couple days, but I cannot find a solution to this particular issue.nI use ANSYS 2019.R3, academic license. While trying to use Multizone through Workbench meshing, I was looking for the ICEM interactive option, but it is not available, which only leads me to conclude that ICEM CFD is not installed. How can I get it enabled? As I understand, ICEM CFD should work with my ANSYS license (please correct me if I am wrong).nPlease help me out with this issue. I apologize if I failed to find the correct post in the forum, but I have been looking hard into this.nThank you!nBest,n

Student version does not have ICEM. So it will give this error. nnIf you want ICEM for hex meshing, please have a look at following on creating hex mesh in Ansys Meshing. nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn

Hi kkanade,nThank you for your answer. But mine is not the student version. It is for research (paid). Is ICEM not available for the research license?.Best,nDiosern

You will need to check the license file for what is included. n

Hello everyone, I have a question, which software is best for structural analysis? Abaqus or Ansys? I have read an article about this topic, but I still don't know which software has better features to start learning.
I leave the link of the article for you:
