Very slow response from DesignModeler in Ansys Workbench 2.0

Very slow response from DesignModeler in Ansys Workbench 2.0

(OP)
Hi guys!

Hope someone can help me out with this one:

I've been making a relatively simple geometry using DesignModeler. It is essentially a matrix of equally sized rectangles and each rectangle has within it another rectangle. In total there are about 250 to 300 rectangles. All this is in Sketch mode (so in 2D). Contraints like "Coincident", "Equal Length" and "Equal distance" were used to align all the rectangles in an orderly fashion.

The problem is that as the number of rectangles increased (reached approximately 200+) the DesignModeler started responding extremely slowly in that, whenever I would change a dimension of a rectangle, or create a new one, it would take upto 2 mins for it to show up. This makes it impossible for me to finish the project (for which I have to modify all 250+ rectangles).

At first sight, one may think that my pc has reached its processing limit. But I tried carrying out this project on a pc with 24GB of RAM and 8 intel i7 processors. The problem persisted.

It really isn't a problem at the hardware level.

Does anyone have a clue??

Thanks for reading ! Hope someone can help !
