Hi,
ive been trying to mesh @0.9mm in solidworks simulation 2010 but the system is not able to process the meshing and analysis . but the analysis works fine if the mesh size is above 3mm.
Is it a problem with solidworks or is it the system cannot handle it ?
We are using it on a hp x4300 workstation. (dual core ,4GB ram and 256MB nvidia graphics card)
Should i go for a better system or is it ok to upgrade the present one.
Thanks

Try meshing smaller than 1mm on on sample/simple plate and check. I believe you need more better machine as the number of nodes might be increasing and your present machine is not capable of taking it up. Better to go on 64 bit machine and ass RAM.
hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I just meshed a simple 3mm plate and meshing works fine.
We are using a 64BIT opperating system now.
So is it the system that is not able to withstand the complexity of the model?
if so is a quad core with 6GB ram enough to run the simulation or we need a better one?
Thanks
Venky
The more you add in the better it will be. I would suggest minimum 8Gb.
Thanks a lot...
You need pure horsepower. A quad core processor clocked to about 4Ghz should do the trick.
Venky,
What error are you getting? Is it just taking too long or do you get an error?
Hi,
We dont get any errors but the meshing goes up to 96% and stops there however long i wait.
I then have to close solidworks and open it again.
Thanks
