Specifying the Hard Memory Limit

The Maximum RAM Limit setting specifies the absolute limit on the amount of physical memory that the solver can use. If the solver attempts to allocate more memory than this setting, the solution process terminates abnormally, and incorrect error messages may appear.

To specify the Maximum RAM Limit for the current user and machine, select Tools > Options > HPC and Analysis Options, then click Edit.

Refer to the HPC and Analysis Options section for more details.

Note: Ansys recommends that you use the Desired RAM Limit setting if you want to limit the RAM the solver may allocate.
