Understanding Abaqus memory usage
Understanding Abaqus memory usage
(OP)
Hello all,
I am using Abaqus 6.10 and have 3GB on my machine, I have 32bit Windows XP. Reading through the manuals, I just wanted to make sure I understood this correctly.. Is 2GB's the maximum memory I can allocate to an analysis for a machine with up to 8GB (this is what the manual says but it seems odd)? Also, from my understanding I can add another 1GB of RAM for my 32bit windows XP. If I can run an analysis with more than 2GB's would it be worth upgrading from 3GB to 4GB on my machine?
Thanks.

RE: Understanding Abaqus memory usage
Now, there's always the issue of how much memory the OS uses. Does your system have a lot of TSR (terminate stay resident) programs? What's the memory usage of your computer immediately after boot-up?
