solidworks keep crushing while doing simulation

Any solution please thank you

It appears like you have only 16 GB of RAM. You should have at least 32, especially for simulation.

yes i have 16GB , so checking about 32RAM.

Thank you

What are you trying to crush in Solidworks? (Joke)

Some days I feel like crushing SolidWorks! Like today it crashed twice on me!

. . . and some days I feel like it's crushing me.

just it stopped working

That's expected behavior...

yes very i just stopped working from last two days , now gradually its getting better

Did sim crash with a message dialog?
Or it completely crash Solidworks?
Or Windows?

crash like this
" during simulation it stopped and start buffering than when i click it shows dialog saying close , report problem "

...SW Crush!

deeply crush

Also, do a reboot and start the sim... but don't work on the computer, leave it alone or let run overnight.
Or, as suggested, get that 32gigs of system ram or another system with 32gigs and also reboot and let run overnight.

actually while buying laptop i did not know like i need more ram i thought 16gb is enough

I ran stress sim on my 16GB laptop.
Crash doesn't mean it ran out of memory.
Even when SW complain "out of memory", it's not out of memory.
Which sim are you running?
Screenshot or even share the files.

Interesting, SW must be making progress on certifying your GPU and you're seeing the effects.

I'd like to know exactly what, if any, the solver is dependent on graphics for computing a sim solution? (not displaying)

I can't speak to solidworks, but I know of a company that was doing massive CFD computations. They built their own supercompter and all of the computations were done using GPUs.

yeah that error was popping out than i watch video about paging size on disk , so right now its fine dont know later
