Hi friends,

I am meshing (using pro*am)a huge problem (around 9 million cells) in cluster M/C with the following configuration,

OS - Linux (scientific Linux)

CPU's - 2

RAM capacity - 6 GB's each (12 GB's total)

I have encounted the following,

When I started the meshing work (after restarting the m/c) it initially took 2 GB's of memory and at the end of day 11 GB's get's blocked even after closing all activities i.e. I came out from all the activities still it shows 11.3 GB's in use.

Pl. give me a suggestion to sort-out this problem.

Thanks in advance C.Shanmugasundaram

The first question is which Linux are you using and second is are you sure you installed the 64bit linux version of STAR?

Dear TG,

Thanks for your replay and details are,

Linux - using both Fedora and scientific Linux

STAR-CD Version- 3.22 (32 bit version of star)

Thanks and Regards C.Shanmugasundaram

I'm afraid you have 2 problems.

1) Fedora isn't supported and I don't know what you mean by scientific Linux

2)You can't take advantage of more than 2 (or maybe 4)Gb of memory with a 32bit version. You need a 64bit OS and the 64bit version of STAR to take advantage of all your memory.

Scientific linux also a 64 bit version of linux only. As you told i will try 64 bit version of star-cd (3.24 or 3.26)and get back to you.

Dear TG,

I have tried star-cd 64 bit version in 64 bit scientific linex. Stil facing the same problem. Can any one help me out.Thanks in advance.

Regards C.shan
