Component Update Issue in Fusion 360

Hi, I'm experiencing a problem with a file I'm currently working on, it's a medical simulator project.

When I open the file, several messages pop up informing me that not all imported components are up to date. I clicked the icon in the top left corner to trigger an update of all components.

Unfortunately, the update runs for over 2 hours and then gets stuck at around 82%, with no progress after that. Because of this, I'm unable to do anything in the file.

When I try to manually break the link in individual bodies without updating, the entire program freezes.

I would really appreciate any help. I'm attaching 3 screenshots from the program that illustrate the issue.

Hi,

Does the program crash when you open it or when you update it? Can you provide the

actual file so we can look at it to see if it is the file or your machine? From the images

it appears that the "Brain Structure" is a complex mesh and the more triangles in a mesh

the harder fusion has to work to calculate everything. If possible, BEFORE doing the

Update, reducing the complexity of the mesh (reducing triangles in real terms) will lower

the computation fusion does and will make it update way faster. Also, if there is some

other error it should be easier to nail down.

Cheers
