Cells vs. Memory

Hello everybody, I'd like to ask what is the function between number of cells and megabytes of memory in Fluent5. Otherwise how many megabytes do I need for every 10 000 of cells?
Thanks Pavel |

It depends on which solver you are using. The coupled solver tends to need more memory.
I'm just now running a ~300,000 cells case with the coupled solver (stationary) and it takes around 600 MB. YMMW. |

The memory requirement depends on the solver and physical models used. For 3D turbulen flow problems, the segregated solver in FLUENT 5 takes roughly 1MB of RAM per 1000 cells.

Hello,
First sorry for my bad english It´s depend from the solver. Aprox. 1Mb RAM / 1000 cells (segregated) Now i´m solving a 800.000 cells problem, MRF, segregated, K-E. with aprox. 500 Mb RAM Alberto |
