Scratch Space?

September 14, 2007, 12:32

Can somebody explain what scratch space is?

I am trying to load a pretty complicated .iges file into pro-automesh, and I keep getting an error "Not Enough Scratch Space"

I used the Memory command to increase it from 10E6 to 20E6, but I got the error again (although I made more progress this time).

I'm sure I just need to keep bumping it up, but what is it?

I think you should try using prosurf or STAR-CCM+ to import the iges.

Your right. I tried that a little after posting that message. SOOOOO much easier to import a large model. Thanks!
