Hello,
I'm running a simple time-dependent heat generation model in a box.
The calculations and everything seem to work just fine. However, when it hits the last iteration (determined by the maximum allowable time) and tries to finish up the program just crashes with no real explanation. It simply says the SolidWorks has encountered an error and has to close...
I've attempted altering the cut-off time limit, but same situation.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I've experienced a wide range of random and not-so-random crashing with FW. Memory fragmentation seems to be the most plausible explanation. If you don't have enough memory for the problem to avoid allocation issues due to fragmentation it just won't make it.
Here's something I've been trying lately...too early to report on whether or not it truly helps, but here it is: Do a pass where you ONLY generate your mesh. Save everything, shutdown SW and, if you want, reboot the computer.
Before starting SW, kill every process that you won't need. Windows Search, Google Desktop, Antivirus, automated backups, messenger are some of the programs that you may want to kill.
Once you've done that, restart SW and run your simulation. The theory is that FW will not fragment memory as much because it doesn't have to generate the mesh. It'll just load it from disk and go.
Let me know if that helps.
