OUT OF MEMOTY ON LOADING 1

[JBIM]

A college of my have this message when he open fully a large assembly (up to 3000part): OUT OF MEMORY.

1)I´not sure it´s in fact memory problems cause it has allready append with smaller assembly.

Is there any environement variable to fix or inprove behavior?

2)There is something else that intrige me:

Why does unigraphics re-do operation such as subtracts or replace face,... when is loading fully components from top assembly.
It doesn´t always appened, but half the time he does that.
I´m sure it allready appened whit you too, and i belive the memory error is display exactly because nx4 it redoing all the feature and come to a certain point where is crash.


By the way the error is the following:

Error recovering failed because:

Undo unsuccessful, part in this sessiom may be corrupt.

You could change your "Load Options" to "No Components" instead of "All Components". When the assembly is open start opening each component one by one, or in manageable groups, from the "Assembly Navigator". By using this prceedure you might be able to track down the troublesome component/assembly and then fix that on its own.

Before you try the above, are your "Load Options" set to "Use Partial Loading"? This could free up some space also.

It sounds like it could be a couple of things.

UG re-builds the part if a part has wavelinkd geometry in it and the parent geometry has changed.
Also if the component is from an old version of UG it will once again go through the geometry of the component to update it to the newer version of Ug.
As this is happening in an assembly it's probably a specific part that is causing it to fail.

You can try opening the assy with no components then open each sub assy 1 at a time.
When it crashes you can track the part to that sub assy and repeat for this sub etc.
This could take some time if it's a large assy like your's.
The other method is to opne no components and then in the Assy Navigator try an "update structure" on the top level assy.
Once again with no components. This will take a while but may give you something useful in the log at the end.
ALternatively look in your log file right at the end and see which was the last component to be opened if it's listed in there.

Hope one of those helps,

Note that most so-called 'version-up' updates does NOT require that a model be rebuilt by running it through a complete feature model update. The 'version-up' process generally only undates internal data structures and if this are proving to be time consuming when done during the retrieval of an older part into a new version of NX, you can always use the offline update ulitlity 'refile_part.exe'.
