Subject: [struct] Sparse solver failure

Hello everybody. My model's features are: element types: SOLID95 SHELL93 TARGE170 CONTA174 number of elements: 46993 number of nodes: 168161 solver: sparse The solver crashes. The output and error files at the crashing moment look like this: OUTPUT FILE *** ELEMENT MATRIX FORMULATION TIMES TYPE NUMBER ENAME TOTAL CP AVE CP 1 36400 SOLID95 40.500 0.001113 2 1 TARGE170 0.000 0.000000 3 4210 CONTA174 3.109 0.000739 4 1832 SHELL93 1.969 0.001075 Time at end of element matrix formulation CP= 81.21875.

Please check the error file (file.err) for possible causes. Since strange subroutines are getting angry, I'm thinking everything's due to insufficient workspace. I've asked for 1200 megabytes total and 300 for database: NT doesn't allow me to ask for more, even if I've got 2 GB RAM. Can anybody please help me? P.S. = PGC runs (VERY slowly).
