Hello
I have a very complex part that I am trying to pattern out and make into a larger part. It is a gyroid structure that I am turning into a 10cm tall by 1cm diameter cylinder. The issue I am having it that the file size gets very large, very quickly. At just 5mm tall the file is already almost 1.8Gb. Is there any way to manage a file of this size and still be able to get the 10cm height I need? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Increasing the size of a part (5 mm or 5m) doesn't have any effect on file size. That's generally dictated by complexity and feature choice. Some features are more resource intensive than others. Go to your Evaluate toolbar and click on Performance Evaluation to see which features are causing problems. If you still have questions can you post the Part here? Someone may be able to offer alternatives to help.
