  Hello,
  
  Can you please help me what are the correct settings in AIM to utilize the core extension license.
  
  Please take a look at a 'typical' utilization of the cores durint a 10s long transient aerodynamic CFD simulation...
  
  My hardware configuration:
  
  - dual XEON CPU E5-2680 v2 @2.80GHz (total of 20 physical cores; hyperthreading=OFF)
  
  - 128 GB RAM
  
  - 2x 500GB SSD (RAID0)
  
  - Windows 10 x64 Pro
  
  Thank you in advance.

  Hello steelxpert
  
  How many cores did you specify under Launch Controls?
  
  Can you send the transcript file for this case?

  Hello Naresh Patre
  
  Yes, you're right, I forgot to set it properly.
  
  Earlier there was minimal help for that setting, so it was misleading. I am glad that the help got more specific regardint that.
  
  Please find the new screenshot with 16-core activated.
  
  Regards,
