Run-time memory configuration error

Kramer

Hi everyone,

we are two students from berlin working on a cfd simulation of a wind turbine. We finished grid generation an some low resolution(1 Mio. Hexas) calculations. Now we try to set up our final simulation with approximately 3 Mio Hexas. We use 3 Computers everyone with 2GB of RAM (Windows XP,CFX 5.7.1,SP2). So there is about 4.8-5 GB Free RAM available. When we start the simulation with the solver, its quits with "Run-time memory configuration error - Not enough free memory is currently available on the system.Could not allocate requested memory - exiting!". This happens when the solver tries to allocate the memory for partioneering. So why is there not enough memory for partioneering a 3 Mio Hexa (Multigrid)with approx. 5 GB of RAM ? Thanks Kramer
