Rebuild time comparison - volunteers wanted for 5 mins
Rebuild time comparison - volunteers wanted for 5 mins
In my quest to find out how much machine specs can improve rebuild speeds I thought I would make a challenging part and see if anyone would be interested in comparing rebuild times.
Under the sweep edit sketch5 and change the dimension of 30 to 40. See how long it takes to rebuild after you press finish sketch.
This is a great thread because it now gives me DATA that says it's time for a new workstation.
Before you spend on a new system look into over clocking. I went from 24 sec's at 3GHz to 19 sec's overclocked to 3.4Ghz. Just search for how to do it with the motherboard you have. I would also wait to see if 2013 has any more multi core support. If not then get the fastest you can afford without worrying about number of cores.
The results seem to be suggesting that RAM and video card are less important than processor speed and you can get an I3 or I5 at 3.4Ghz and an I7 4 core at 3.6Ghz much cheaper than the 6 core ones.
I now have a cpu monitor running and notice that it max's out when rotating which explains why changing cards made no difference, the cpu seems to be doing some of the calculations, so maybe card ram doesnt matter as much as we think.
It comes down to the clock speed of a single core in the CPU when dealing with IPT and IAM files. If you could get a really fast single core CPU for IPT and IAM files, it would be all you need.
IDW creation with IV2012 does take advantage of multi cores, FEA and Studio also take advantage of multi CPU cores.
Unfortunately, from what I've seen, FEA in Inventor professional does not not use more than 1 core.
Seems 17 seconds is about right, it is the same time as Blair who has almost identical hardware. When running a single process my CPU only ramps up from 3.33Ghz to 3.6Ghz however the newer i5 & i7 xxxxK chips ramp up to well over 4 Ghz when running a single process. This is why some people are seeing quicker times on newer hardware.
Now if I got into very large assemblies, that's where more RAM would help, correct?
Definitely, but as stevec781 suggested, check your process monitor (ctrl+shift+esc) to keep an eye on how much RAM Inventor uses, as you might be just fine with what you do now. I would normally recommend a minimum 8Gb for laptops, 12Gb for workstations, before even asking what it is that you do with Inventor.
