Problems with complex model
what type of pattern are you using? Are you doing a Body pattern, followed by a Combine? Try patterning Faces or Features (set to Optimized). But, 30x45 will generate a LOT of geometry no matter how you do it. Even if you are patterning a cube, that's going to generate 8100 faces. If this pattern is really necessary to your design, you will have to just live with the slowness, or, if you know that this pattern is one you will have to generate only once and never need to edit again, you could consider doing it in a direct modeling/base body.

A faster machine will help incrementally, but that will only get you so far. With a pattern that big, no matter what hardware you throw at it, it will likely be painful. If you can keep most of your edits downstream of the pattern, that will help. Also, you didn't mention what type of pattern you were using. That can make a big difference. For feature patterns, Adjust can be up to 10 times slower than optimized...

No, I cannot post my models on the forum, sorry.
And you feel you have the needed level of expertise to work on models that cannot be shared?
