5.3. Discovery Licensing Levels

There are two levels of Discovery licensing.

Table 5.3: Discovery License Levels

License Level	Description
disco_level2	Also known as Discovery Simulation. Permits all modeling operations. Permits structural and fluids solves in the Explore stage and electromagnetic and fluids solves in the Refine stage. For structural, provides access to solving in the Refine stage but an appropriate flagship solver license is also required. For fluids solves in the Refine stage, you can use the LiveGX solver, which is the default and does not require an additional flagship license. If you disable the LiveGX solver, an appropriate flagship solver license is also required. See Structural Physics Licensing and Fluids Physics Licensing for details. Note: Electromagnetic solves are not permitted in the Explore stage.
disco_level1	Also known as Discovery Modeling. Permits all modeling operations in the Model stage. Blocks creation and editing of physics objects. Blocks solving. Permits read-only access to the Explore and Refine stages. Permits read-only access to results and post-processing. Enables you to run your choice of Discovery Modeling, SpaceClaim, or DesignModeler. However, you may run only one of these products at a time.

Description

disco_level2

Also known as Discovery Simulation.
Permits all modeling operations.
Permits structural and fluids solves in the Explore stage and electromagnetic and fluids solves in the Refine stage.
For structural, provides access to solving in the Refine stage but an appropriate flagship solver license is also required.
For fluids solves in the Refine stage, you can use the LiveGX solver, which is the default and does not require an additional flagship license. If you disable the LiveGX solver, an appropriate flagship solver license is also required.
See Structural Physics Licensing and Fluids Physics Licensing for details.

Note: Electromagnetic solves are not permitted in the Explore stage.

disco_level1

Also known as Discovery Modeling.
Permits all modeling operations in the Model stage.
Blocks creation and editing of physics objects.
Blocks solving.
Permits read-only access to the Explore and Refine stages.
Permits read-only access to results and post-processing.
Enables you to run your choice of Discovery Modeling, SpaceClaim, or DesignModeler. However, you may run only one of these products at a time.

If a disco_level1 license is not available, one of these alternate licenses may be used instead.

Depending on physics, the alternate licenses provide the following:

For structural and fluids, the alternate licenses provide the same functionality described in the table above for disco_level1. In such cases, if you want to solve in the Refine stage, you still need to have a disco_level2 license.
For electromagnetic, the alternate Electronics license provides the same functionality described in the table above for disco_level1 plus the ability to solve in the Refine stage.
