We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi David

Warning are often ok - MAPDL has dynamic memory allocation so the warning about in-core might have been just a warning before MAPDL allocated itself more memory.  Or it may have actually run out-of-core.  Check the output file.

See the MAPDL Help Operations Guide chapter 4.1 on the command line options.  There are two for memory that work hand-in-hand.  -m and -db

Don't try to allocation all the available memory to MAPDL if the model does not require it - the OS will use memory for things like caching files for I/O etc.
