HM performance!

Dear all,

I would like to ask you few questions about HM technical skills I cannot find elsewhere:

1. Given that, as far as I know, HM does not provide the possibility for parallel meshing, is there a max number of elements HM can properly handle before becoming unstable (obviuosly having enough RAM in any case)? Say 10M elements? Is there a similar limit on the number of geometric components?

2. Is there a way to see the effective memory usage for allocation of elements (out of the sofware, i.e. task manager in windows)?

Any help would be really appreciated!

Cheers!

    HM does not give parallel meshing capabilities, but if you are dealing with an assembly like BIW, you can actually send the components to different machines for meshing and then pull back the assembly. This will improve your speed by a huge margin.

    If you have acces to an infrastructure like HPC, you can actually automate this
