Fluent Error message when importing mesh
 
Hello,

I am new to Fluent software. I am using Ansys 13.
When I am importing a mesh to Fluent, it is showing the following message.

785292 nodes, binary.
34721 nodes, binary.
9135883 mixed interior faces, zone 1, binary.
6737 triangular wall faces, zone 5, binary.

It seems like you are running out of memory. Could that be possible?

Thank you for the reply.
The machine which I am using has 2gb ram 2ghz core2 duo processor.
I will relax the meshing part a bit so that required memory reduces and then shoot it in the Fluent.

You want to run a mesh with 4.5 million cells on a single machine? Reduce it by a factor of 10 to 450000, even this will take a lot of time.

It took me 20G RAM and 8 processors for only 8 millions of cells.
Make a kind of ratio to see the limits of your computer for 4554076 cells.

You require minimum of 12 GB RAM for such a karge number of nodes. Either reduce number of nodes or increase RAM of your machine:)

You need to limit your number of cells up to 2.5 million... or you need a powerful computer to work on.. :)
