Out of Memory

August 29, 2007, 09:08

Hi,

When I try to mesh my volumes I keep getting Out of Memory messages.

I have 2GB of RAM, this should be enough. My voulmes are not particularly big nor complicated.

I have tried almost all the meshing schemes and smaller interval sizes and counts too. Nothing is working.

When I start the Gambit application do all the files in the working directory go to the RAM for access I mean all the files i have saved previously too. Is that why it is showing Out of memory even though I have plenty of memory.

Another point: On system Information the details show Total physical memory is 2048 MB Available physical memory is 1048 MB

So it seems that I do have plenty of memory available.

Any suggestions please? Thanks

How many cells would your model contain if this error did not occur?

Hi Jo,

I think about a million cells, the main problem is trying to mesh a problem, even with a very large interval size I keep getting this error message.

What would you suggest?
