How many components do you have in the assembly?
>> At this point I'm not sure, the file will no longer open. 8-( However, there are approx. 725 unique part files and a lot of fasteners.
What is the total size of the dataset?
>>131 Mb w/o fasteners
Do you have 3GB switch on?
>>No. The workstation is a Dell Precision 380 w/ 4Mb, 3.0Ghz CPU, Quadro 3500. IT says the /3Gb switch is unsupported by Dell. I believe they may have tried it without success. I know the /USERVA switch has not been used.
The machine "stalls" at about 800Mb total Ram usage. Last time I tried, the machine ran for ~45mins.
