HPC for multiple instances

  Hello, I am using ANSYS Mechanical under a research license. The simulations I am running can take a long time to process. As far as I know, the license I am using limits me to one HPC (High Performance Computing) simulation in Mechanical at a time. Is there a way to configure the HPC so I can run multiple Mechanical instances a time? Thank you!

  ANSYS HPC licenses are required only when you are solving more than 16 cores for each of your simulation.
  
  You can solve as much instances (simulations) as you like as long as you have enough CPU/RAM resources and enough Mechanical solver licenses. If you only have 1 Mechanical solver license, you can only solve Mechanical 1 instance at a time.
  
  Thanks,
