I am running a simulation in Solidworks. I have 11 grounded bolt fixtures and 14 bolt connectors. The other components have a mixture of 'bonded' and 'no penetration' contact sets. There are 13 contact sets and another 13 component contact sets. There are four parts in the assembly and additional 13 gussets.
My computer has 8 GB memory and the resources seem to be enough (checked performance in task manager)
My solver has been running for the past hour and 40 min. and for at least the past 20 minutes (mayb longer as this is when I checked before) the solver is at 9.1% The details of the solver show it at 100% of 'Automatic global contact search'. There has no change in the memory usage for a looong time. Though task manager shows fluctuating CPU usage.
Now, my question, Should I cancel this analysis or leave it running? Is it stuck for worse?
