LIMITATIONS ON MODEL SIZE

  There are few inherent limitations on the size of the model that can be generated in FEMGEN as memory is allocated for geometric objects as they are created.

When viewing results in FEMVIEW., an area of memory is reserved to hold vital information about the model, and for certain installations where a limited amount of memory is available to the user, some limitation on the model size will be encountered. A formula which allows the user to calculate the maximum size of model that can be processed is given in Appendix G of the User Manual Appendices. On larger computers this limitation on model size can be overcome when the program is installed.
