runtime error

You need to increase the virtual memory in your computer. The virtual
memory should be atleast twice your RAM memory. If the virtual memory
is already set up to twice the RAM then you need to get more RAM.

From you log it looks like you are close to the 2Gb limit for a single process on 32-bit OS. The message advice is erroneus since increasing your swap space will have no effect if the memory limit is reached. You have two options:


1) Re-run the analysis on a 64-bit machine. 64-bit support for Pro/Engineer and Mechanica is available. You have to request the correct disks to install on a Windows64 machine. 64 bit UNIX is also supported. This will give you at least 8Gb of memory. Up to 4-way processing is also supported on Windows (and up to 8-way on SGI I believe).


2) Review the model and reduce the number of elements and links, or only run a 'quick-check' analysis if it has already completed the first pass and check the stress error estimate to see if it is acceptable. It usually is if you have a large number of elements.
