    You must have Windows 2003 Server operation system (or other server system operation) to install SQL Server 2000. If you need to learn SQL language only, you can use SQL Server 2005 Express Edition which can be installed on XP.

    Computer Performance Comparison - FEA

    cbrn, Maybe I was out of luck with laptops. Used just for demos on customer site. I prefer to build my own rig and maximise it's performance. And don't forget he wants to use Solidworks also. No chance with a laptop. I still consider the laptop a fancy toy for a serious engineer.

    area of elements is too small,zero or negative

    I believe you have a large strain problem where your elements submit large deformations. Redo the mesh accordingly with the state problem or try to do a rezoning to keep area elements at a reasonable shape.
