I'm having a memory problem on my vista machine.
It's a 64bits with Elmer 32bits (5884).
I'm running a model of 42k (quadratic) elements with GCR solver.
I get the following error:
Code: Select all
StressSolve:
StressSolve: --------------------------------------------------
StressSolve: Solving displacements from linear elasticity model
StressSolve: --------------------------------------------------
StressSolve: Displacemet iteration: 1
StressSolve: Starting assembly...
StressSolve: Assembly done
StressSolve: Set boundaries done
Operating system error: Not enough space
Out of memory
At the moment of the crash, Elmer is using only 870Mb of RAM.
I installed the 64bit version of Elmer and there it works with 2.5Gb of RAM.
So I'm just wondering if the error occurs at the moment of the allocation of the memory and this is why -even I'm below the 2Gb limit- it crashes?
thanks,
