Just got my work's FEA computer converted over to XP 64bit and upgraded to 10GB of RAM. Computer is a quad-core 2.8GHz and I've got it setup for DDM (parallel processing). Took a couple weeks longer than I thought since the computer wouldn't run the 10GB of Ram without installing a fan with cowl to direct the air over the memory. Pretty sweet to be able to utilize all the processors and have all that memory.:Banane19:

Anybody else have systems like that for a single program?

What are you guys using for FEA? I've played around with FEMAP in Solid Edge at work a little bit and everything takes FOREVER. But then I don't have a wicked machine like that trying to run it.

You've got me droolin'

my engineering graphics teacher worked for GTRI at Lockheed Martin and he was telling me his work computer had 32 gigs of ram. i dunno what he was running, but he's a ME.

I like Edge quite a bit when it works. Seems like every time they release a patch they fix one thing and break 3 more but whatcha gonna do. I've got version ST sitting here on my desk, can't quite bring myself to make the jump from version 20 yet.

Heftiest machine we have here is a dual-xeon 3.0 with 4 gigs of RAM.

I am still using 19 here
It doesnt have two many clitches as far as i have found
I havent tried solid works so i cant comment

I think people like the one they get used to and then its hard to swap and so the other one is then no good

Wow, that's a lot. Must have been FEA. I can't believe modeling would need that much.


Its weird to hear people talking about SolidWorks and SolidEdge. It's rare to hear companies using those. Most of my work has been in military, automotive and heavy truck and its almost all either Pro-E, NX (IDEAS & UG), or Catia. I've started to get into medical and some of those companies use Solidworks. We use Inventor. Its decent for simple models and pretty fast, but add a lot of complexity and my experience has been its not too stable.
