How To Access 8GB RAM on 64-Bit XP

1-5AZIVI Apr 23, 2009 5:07 PM

I am new to Flow Simulation. I have a new Dell T7400 with 4-core and 8GB RAM running XP. When solving, the CPR runs between 25 and 85% while the Memory Usage is only 700,000K to 900,000K.

Why is the memory usage so low? I thought Flow would grab at least 6 GB RAM.

Any thoughts?

You don't have to do anything to access that amount of memory on XP Pro 64-bit. Keep refining the mesh and you will see the memory usage go up.

The CPU usage is a measure based on the total possible for all cores. If only one core (out of four) is being used fully, then the CPU usage will only report 25%.
