Hang up generating nest

joey_angelotti — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 21:41:00 GMT

I am trying to nest cabinet parts, around 150 unique components and a total of about 600 pieces to nest. Fusion seems to be having trouble nesting everything. I am going to try splitting up the nest into several different studies next. But I was just wondering if this is something fusion nesting should be able to handle? I have had success on other nest studies with the same components, they were significantly smaller studies though.

I have cleared my cache and double checked my packaging but I am sure there is a lot more I can do to speed this process up. Any advice will help.

I'm working on a mac M1 currently but am going to try on my PC at home later.

Thanks

I've been having a similar problem, and haven't gotten any answers. It seems like Fusion struggles nesting more than a couple unique components at a time. The most I've done is around 80 at a time, but it took 15+ minutes to generate. I'd be curious to know what your CPU and RAM usage is at while you're nesting. Mine is only between 15% and 25% which makes no sense to me.

If you're able to find anything out I'd love to know.

It is still struggling and I think it has to do with my mac M1 chip. I was reading that fusion still doesn't run natively on mac so it is going through rosetta 2. IDK what that really means but when I open up my task manager it shows fusion 360 taxing my cpu, by itself, at over 200% while generating a nest and it is labeled as an intel cpu rather than apple. This, I believe, is my problem. So I guess I will be moving to PC. It definitely runs better on my mediocre PC gaming setup with an i7 than it does on my M1 mac. I just can't bring my gaming PC to the shop unfortunately.

memory was at 13 gb, probably part of the problem as well. again im not super technical with the specs but I think I need to upgrade. So i guess that my cpu was at 200% and my ram was like 90%. Ill stop blaming fusion, but if it is a problem with m1 chips specifically then they shouldn't be selling it like it will work with the system.
