Patricia Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 My co-worker and I are having the same problem on two independent modeling projects. GMS repeatedly crashes (out of memory error) or just shows an hour glass forever when we create particles. I have tried closing out of programs, turning off the site map and other tricks but to no avail. This does not always happen but we are unable to piece together the pattern.

mmamobile Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 If the model(s) is/are transient, make sure you've selected output for each time step under "output control". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 both models are steady state but thank you for the ideas.We just found out that GMS 7.1 needs a dedicated graphic card, not an integrated one. They recommend an nVidia Quadro based graphics card and it must support OpenGL 1.5. I don't recall seeing those requirements spelled out anywhere when we upgraded. Has anyone else had to upgrade their graphics card for similar reasons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minimum requirements are posted here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
