To much Ram to program.

[WWhorton]

Why am I using so much ram while programing. I have a small model and using 2.5 gigs of ram to profile the part. Makes the machine very slow and forever to run. Have run the program thru and still using a ton of ram. Thanks

How much RAM is on your computer? Tell your IT to invest a few bucks and get another stick.

16 Gig . New machine from Hexagon

I think this is the first time I have ever seen this.

Make sure PC-DMIS is using your dedicated graphics card as well and not the integrated one...

[KIRBSTER269]

^^^^^^ +1 on this, Take a Picture of your OPENGL and put it on here, lets see your setup

[A-machine-insp]

KIRBSTER269 That sounded very inappropriate and dirty...

[WWhorton]

Thanks

What the h_ell is that? not cussing you out. there's nothing there??? ok we are going to figure out what you have. Is this just me or is this wrong?

That is one of the bugs possessing PC-DMIS. I have reported this a while back. The OpenGL information isn't displayed due to the underlying tabs are covering the OpenGL tab. Weird issue, maybe has something to do with doublebuffering the dialogs (or not doublebuffering them), I don't know. Click on the various tabs to see if you can get the OpenGL information to display and stay displayed.

KIRBSTER269 What actually is OPENGL? I have never messed with it before.

Dan... tisk tisk tisk... google that 'ish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL
It's the communication method to essentially delegate the graphics card to process the visual graphics on your screen effectively.

If you don't have it assigned to your graphics card, it's using your motherboard's processor and your main processor to do the work, slowing everything else down.

Google is the devil. I'd rather ask you guys. Thanks for the support!

[Kp61dude!]

"you guys" isn't too far off from "google". Bing it!

[KIRBSTER269]

I'll just simplify Open it up and check it out. DAN_M

Top Arrow pretty much just tells you about your video card. If you have a weak card. You can bump up the Tessellation number, it will help your video card not have to work so hard, but Yuck your graphics will suck, go ahead and give it a shot, you can change it back, but change that number to, I don't know, 10, look at your circles on your CAD, they'll look squareish, but it doesn't lag as much, best setting is 0.1. Take a gander

Why am I using so much ram while programing?

I am curious to know what version of the demon do you have possessing your machines? I experienced the devastating crunch moving from 2017 to 2019.

[WWhorton]

Using PCDmis 2018 R2

[KIRBSTER269]

Go To Device Manager and Click on the arrow for Display adapters, lets see what you got there.

This^^ will tell us if there is a graphics card to use, even if PC-DMIS struggles with displaying the OpenGL info in itself, theres always NVIDIA control panel to force the graphics card usage.

How do you know for sure it's PcDmis bogging things down? Windows anti virus thingy is really bad and consumes about the amount of RAM you mentioned...always. There is a method to throttle it back but only a little.

[KIRBSTER269]

also smoking weed seems to slow everything

WWhorton go to POST #5 follow the instructions, you might have to do this.
