Hello,
Model consolidation in my models take a lot of time. Please, can you explain which main parametres have the biggest influence on time of model consolidation? Number of elements(which of them are most complicated - shells, bars?), number of loads(which of them are most complicated - point loads, linear loads....?), number of finite elements and so on?
Everything, concerning model size: no of nodes, bars (, calculation nmodes, calculations elelments), FEs, panels, claddings
which of them have the biggest influence? Do you have any main recomendations how to reduce the time for model consolidation?

After calculation don't have any warnings and errors in my model, except 'isolated node', 'duplicated load' - bugs in RSA.
- model consolidation time longer when more panels meshed, remeshed before calculations run
- applying loads - applying linear loads on egdes takes some time; claddings loads works at least ~10 times faster on 2014 than on 2012.
