I am trying to run the solidworks bechmark test in SW 2018
here is a screenshot that i found on an old unanswered thread of the exact issue i am running into
i have tried enabling read/write on both c:\program files\solidworks corp and on c:\programdata\solidworks
i have tried upgrading the test files to 2018 format
i have tried running this test both in SW 2018 SP2 and SP3
any ideas?
run as admin for the test does not help
the maddening thing is how this crashes as it is closing Solidworks for the last time at the end of test 5 of 5
so takes me 15 min to test any changes i make but so far no success
Run Solidworks RX
Lol, I got nothin'. Your computer tapped out before the test was done!
Looks like it is VAR time. Get your VAR involved.
Like Dan Pihlaja said time to get the VAR involved. The only other thing I can think of is did you check to see if the graphics card is up to date with the sw2018 drivers.
Tim, did you ever get a helpful solution to this issue? I'm seeing this problem on my desktop as well as a VM.
Yes, i contacted my VAR about this who in turn passed it on to Solidworks as a Bug.
this problem was fixed in SW 2019, i never heard back from them but noticed that this worked after i had upgraded
i don't think i ever saw it work in a VM while i was running 2018...
Thanks, Tim! I just got off the phone with my VAR and it looks like there is an SPR to resolve the issues caused by running this tool on a VM. They're going to escalate the issue with why it failed on my desktop to Solidworks, I guess.
I suppose in the meantime I'll just have to open the same assemblies on both systems and see who is the winner. I'm sure that'll be good data to turn in to my team.
"The desktop won 7 of 10 races, averaging 10 a second lead per assembly."
Did you try it but as Administrator privileges?
