I tried to run Internal fluid flow on my laptop(Intel Pentium M 1.80GHz, 1.25GB Memory, Microsoft XP operating system)

Below are the mesh setting
Disabled Automatic setting
Disabled Narrow Channels,
Small solid refinement-Level 3
Curvature refinement -Level 3
Tolerance refinement -Level 0
Refine Fluid cells -Level 2

And I keep gettting these message:
"Mesh generation abnormally terminated"
"Solidworks is unable to obtain required memory"
"failed to allocate requested continuous memory block due to memory fragmentation"

The model is just a 5" OD impeller and 6" OD diffuser(volute).

I also tried local mesh option to minimize the memory usage, but I still got the one of the above message either during the meshing process or IF I am lukcy, I got the above message right before the interation starts.

If anyone out there knows how to solve this probelm, please provide some guideline.

Thanks

1) Try to keep your total cell count below 400,000.
2) Defrag your hard drive.
3) Reboot your computer.
4) Might need more RAM, I have 4 G's but I am not sure if XP can use it all.
