SubscriberWhile solving the Modal analysis i am gettin gthe following error , which i i feel because of memory issue only. Here i was using the quadratic elements , when i changed it into the linear elemnt it solved my modal analysis in just 20 minutes but quadratic it showing this error. As quadratic are better i wanted to use that element, so could please tell any possible solution . FYI my PC confiuration is 512 Gb Ram 3 Tb harddisk with 64 core.

The Distributed Sparse Matrix Solver used by the Block Lanczos
eigensolver is currently running in the in-core memory mode. This
memory mode uses the most amount of memory in order to avoid using the
hard drive as much as possible, which most often results in the
fastest solution time. This mode is recommended if enough physical
memory is present to accommodate all of the solver data.
Total memory available for LANCZOS = 115.954578 GB

Forum ModeratorHi Bala, it seems the issue of large model, can you try reducing the mesh count while keeping quadratic elements?
As per table 4.3 it may take 374 to 664 GB RAM to solve this model in core.
https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/Secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v231/en/ans_per/perlineqsolv.html%23d0e1145
you may want to try using DSPOPTION https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/Secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v231/en/ans_cmd/Hlp_C_DSPOPTION.html and force this analysis out of core. Please note you will need about 664 GB hard drive space in that case. Also, that hard drive space should be in the same partition where the temp directory is located:

SubscriberThanks for detail reply. This out of core option has worked it solved my modal analysis, but further when i tried to to solve transient analysis by using MSUP its crashing the Ansys mechanical. Due to some reason i had to interrupt my transient analysis solution process, but after doing this my ansys mechanical is not opening , just crashing when i am trying to open.

Forum ModeratorIn that case, a bigger machine or smaller mesh would be the only option.
