Memory Allocation Issue

[Daniel_LEE]

Hi, I am a complete beginner on ABAQUS and I was running an analysis on Timber-Concrete Composite through tutorials on YouTube. After running the analysis for about 10 minutes, this showed in the command window in red text "The memory allocation for job Trial was increased to 4051MB based on the analysis estimates." and the analysis stopped processing though it was "running" in the job manager. I had no idea what does this mean. Could anyone help? Thanks!

How much RAM do you have ? You can check the memory estimates for a job in the .dat file.

Thanks for the help! I opened the file and saw this. Is this what you are referring to? But how does this relate to the "memory allocation" problem?

Also, since I am using parallel desktop to open ABAQUS on my mac, the pre-assigned RAM for the parallel desktop is 4GB.
