SolidWorks is unable to obtain required memory

Oct 24, 2008 4 Replies

Hi,



Just wondering how many people are getting this same message in SW



2008 when opening assemblies? We're getting it with moderate sized assemblies that shouldn't be a problem.

Everybody in my office can repeat the problem and other colleagues I know outside our office have encountered it too yet both local VARs seem stumped by it.



Thanks Devlin


Devlin,

Suspect there might be a geometry glitch in SW code that's gobling up memory (software memory leak?).

SP 5.0 has been released but I don't think it will solve the issue.

I'm getting the same problem with SW2009 when rendering a simple part image (square block). Again, geometry is such that it shouldn't be an issue.

Had the identical problem when rendering a piping route. Removed the

3D sketch CL of the route and the rendering worked fine.

While not answering your question it may give SW/Vars something more to go on.

I get it all the time when opening even just a single part. Usually shutting down swks and restarting fixes it, but it is annoying as a banquer.

Saw this before on a regular basis on a 32bit system and 2Gb ram.....but now after changing to 64bit and 8Gig of ram never seen it.

"As annoying as a banquer." That's the funniest thing I've heard today. You might have just coined a new term. Thanks
