Hi,
I am currently working on a relatively simple model, it isessentially a squashed pipe with a cut profile (external ref to thewhere ever the pipe is going). The pipe is design table driven andhas 148 configurations.
The pipe is used in an lower level assembly, and its cut profilereferences another lower level assembly. So that there is a toplevel assembly with two sub assemblies, and the pipe references apart in the other sub assembly.
The problem that I am having is that
1. Its really slow to load and save by it self. Solidworks some howmanages to generate over 1gb of saved data for the pipe. This isstill acceptable since there are so many configurations. But whenloading and saving the assembly, it takes hours. Even when all theunnessary parts are either supressed or light weight, and only 5parts (with only 2 having different configurations) are opened up.
2. When rebuilding, Solidworks doesn't seem to fully rebuildeverything. For example the cut profile may be updated for 140 ofthe 148 pipes, but the remaining 8 is not updated.
Does any one have any suggestions or tips that may speed things upabit? Beside getting a better computer?
I also doubt that a faster computer would help, currently it takes3 hours to save the pipe part, even a new computer with 3 times thespeed, it would still take an hour. There must be some trick thatcan be used to get past this problem.
