Memory Limitations?

January 14, 2005, 17:16

Hi Everyone,

I am currently conducting market validation for a startup in silicon valley. I am wondering if CFD applications like fluent ever need large amounts of main memory (over 16GB) and if you are running into these problems, how do you solve them today?

Thanks for any help.

one of the major places where in CFD we need more than 16GB type of memory are cases with DNS. and if we run into these problems , we do not solve them ;-)

(people are using parallal comps)

I think Fluent can only use 1.5gb of physical memory
