The simulations tend to crash repeatedly, usually citing insufficient RAM. However, the same simulations do manage to complete intermittently. When they complete, HFSS consistently records a RAM value hundreds of GB below our actual allocation limit (2 TB). Our question: why would the simulations crash so often due to insufficient RAM when they don&#8217;t end up requiring more than is available?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The only trend we notice is that higher frequency simulations (which usually require a finer mesh) tend to crash more frequently than lower frequency runs. However, as stated, when higher frequency simulations do successfully complete, they do not require much more RAM than lower frequency ones.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-392162","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["442828","109997"],"_bbp_author_ip":["66.253.168.47"],"_btv_view_count":["242"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["392162"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27793"],"_bbp_engagement":["109997","442828"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["396084"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["396084"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-12-03 13:51:21"]},"test":"diett004umn-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/392162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/392162\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=392162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
