Part size too large

[ViniciusV]

Hi.

There is something happening that I can not understand why. I've recently made a model of a curve by subtracting interference bodies from a disc to create a sort of a cam.

When I finished it I saw that the part size was arround 5mb due to all the subtractions I made.

Now that I'm trying to do the same part again. For a reason that I'm trying to find I didnt saved a backup copy of it, but now I'm doing exactly the same process but even before reaching the middle of the modeling the file size goes to 238mb and NX stops responding or just take to much time to do it.

Any reason why that is possibly happening?

I had a problem with this also. I ended re-installing it that helped a bit. But ultimately the issue was my computer not having the available memory or power to successfully run the program once my parts reached a certain complexity. Maybe it would be worth checking the available memory and making sure the computer specs are suitable.

I had this problem once and solved after re-installing the software, but I'm with this issue again and already tried to re-install.

I think my computer specs are good since I already did the part once before, I'm just trying to do it again. I'm runing it on a 16Gb RAM and intel i7 processor.

Would it be a solution if I run a scan disk and defragmentation on the hard disk?

Are you running a 32bit or 64bit version of NX? All the memory in the world won't help much if only you're running the 32bit version of NX.
