I am currently on a computer that has 4GB of RAM. I am trying to allocate the maximum amount of memory to NASTRAN for the run. The most I can give it in the command line is 1536MB (1.5 GB) and that doesn't even work some of the time (1024mb works all the time). I would like to be able to allocate at least 2GB. I have checked my system resources and confirmed that at the time of my run I had 3+GB of memory free. The closest solution I found on the forum is here but that did not work for me. Also I am running from the command prompt with "nastran bdf_file.bdf scr=yes mem=2048mb"
The exact error message that I get is "Open Core Memory Allocation Failed" in the .log file. The .f06 file is completely blank.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
