Out Of Memory

While Meshing, I am experiencing consistent messages that the server is Out Of Memory. The Meshing program will run for an hour then issue the ‘Machine ran out of memory’. This has been occurring since 12-10-20 approximately 2:00pm CST and continues today. This is occurring on a project I have run multiple times in 15 minutes or less. Does anyone know what’s going on? There seems to be a server problem.

Hi!

A meshing operation running out of memory indicates a large number of cells being generated. If your model is very simple, yet the meshing operation fails with lack of memory, it’s likely that you have some small gaps somewhere.

As far as the standard mesher goes, a 4 core machine can generate more than 10 million cell meshes (so it gives you an idea of the mesh size).

Anyway, in your case, there are a handful of small gaps around these regions:

And a side view, showing one of the two 5e-4 inch gaps:

After cleaning up the CAD model, it should work :slight_smile:

PS: there are some gaps around the supply as well:

Cheers

Thank you. I’m wondering why the previous models ran and now this one does not? I will cleanup the model and proceed. Thank you again!
