Memory Allocation
Memory Allocation
(OP)
Is there a way to adjust the amount of memory allocated to Ansys Workbench during solving? I have 1GB of RAM yet when I was solving I see the max memory used in XP Task Manager was only 512 MB. I have the solver set to "System" or whatever it's called so it can choose which solver is best. Can I specify "please use more RAM" somehow?
Thank You
Thank You





RE: Memory Allocation
You can do this in variable manager within workbench. Go to Tools -> Variable Manager and for the variable name insert AMK MEMORY then enter the amount of memory needed or available (KB) under "value". Bear in mind that Windows XP will require minimum 128 Mb RAM just to operate (that's without any apps), so you may see a considerable drop in performance of your PC if you start specifying large chunks of RAM - and that's if XP allows you to allocate that much memory anyway.
