You will typically encounter this warning during three specific phases:

Before troubleshooting, it is essential to translate the cryptic phrasing into plain English. You will typically encounter this warning during three

In short: Your current license restricts how large a simulation you can run, and ANSYS has just confirmed that your current model is either at or approaching that boundary. In short: Your current license restricts how large
