Anyone else having issues with SW meshing of 'largish' assemblies? We have noticed in 2015 v5, 64b that when a 'largish' assembly (100+ bodies/parts) that SW "grabs" the computer and "steals" the cursor so you can't effectively use the computer for anything else. Is there something I'm missing? The application is running at normal priority. Machine has plenty of cores/RAM and is not running at 100%.
I see that this post has been seen by more than 10 people - don't any of you try to do something as simple as sending an email while meshing a large-ish assembly?
Sure I do, but the company cut my contract at SW2014 so I don't have that "feature". (One of the rare times where them being frugal is a benefit, not a curse...)
Yeah, I miss that ability. The only saving grace is that I have two computers that I run FEA on and I make it a practice now to only mesh on one at a time.
The symptoms described are consistent with the following known issue:
SPR 864210 - "SOLIDWORKS Simulation – Mesh: While meshing, Mesh progress dialog window/box automatically takes focus after each solid body has been meshed, interrupting anything you may be doing"
