Assembly crash - out of memory error
Assembly crash - out of memory error
(OP)
solidworks 2006 sp 3.0
my coworker is having an assembly file crash on him constantly. he will try to mate and the program stalls, then flashes an out of memory error message. this is on a machine with 4 gigs of memory. the only thing we could deduce is that the assembly file is corrupt. however, i tried it on my machine and successfully mated two parts, albeit with a rather delayed time. he has tried repairing and reinstalling solidworks but w/o any change. any ideas as what would be causing it to eat up 4 gigs of memory?

Worked on 4x256=1gb total, then switch to 4x1gb=4 gb total and was crashing all the time, after removing 2 chips and now on 2 gb no crach so far, so looks to me that at least one of removed chips was bad. Hope this help.

You can get about another gig of usable memory by using the 3 Gb switch:

None of the Radeon cards are recommended by SW, although some of them have been "passed with limitations".
Are you running Windows XP64? If you are not, the 4GB of RAM is useless. Regular XP32 only recognises 2GB & will only actually use about 1.6GB

i was wrong on the memory. he only had 2gb in. we left the 512mb stick in after we pulled the new memory sticks and put the old in. this jumping him to 2.5gb and he managed a little longer than with the 2gb. it seems to only be this one file. it isn't very complex either. tubular frame, some smartmate fasteners, an electric motor, and a few custom parts.

I'm running SWKS 2006 SP2.0 on a P4 2.8 with 2gb with an ATI FireGL X2 and Win XP SP1. I was running SP3 but re-installed back to SP2 due to the out of memory error.

Now i'm able to boost the renderings to max features without any issues.
Been running crash-free ever since.
