crash with patterns
crash with patterns
(OP)
I am running SW05. I have a model of a sheet metal
heater cover. It is perforated in some areas. I made a series of holes, did a cut and then a linear pattern.
When I fold the part, SW "runs" for an extremely long
time and then crashes. I never get to see the part folded
with the cut-outs.
Is there a better way to model this so Solidworks does not
freeze and crash?
Thanks in advance

RE: crash with patterns
See FAQ section.
Also is your video card certifed and the drivers?
See FAQ section
This type of procedure is not only CPU heavy, but video Card heavy, because it must regenerate all thos patterns.

RE: crash with patterns
I have had alot of experience with the problem you are having. Many SW jockies around here have accepted the fact that alot of cuts eat up alot of bytes. Many of us now simply model the perimeter holes and add verbage to the .slddrw. I work with alot of heat rise issues, hence we do alot of venting.
Hope that helps,

RE: crash with patterns
You might want to see what's happening with your processor and RAM (task manager) when you try this to see if there is a specific hardware problem (using much more RAM than is available, etc). If I could do such a crazy part back in 1997, it's probably possible today with the right hardware/settings.
