Memory Error

Post by majid-OS »

Hi,

I have a problem when I am running my model in opensees.
I have a loop where certain analysis is repeated inside. When I increase the number of loop increments I get the "out of memory" error while I don't have it if the number of the loop increment is lower than a certain value. Even when I run the same problem three times, opensees turned off automatically.
Is there a memory limit on server? What is the problem?

Thanks,
Majid

no .. it could be a memory leak or a windows problem .. create a very small model with same material types, recorders and analysis options and watch the memory usage of the program .. if it keeps increasing post the script .. it is a lot easier to debug the problem if it is small .. of course ake sure yo are not also growing things, e.g. lists, inside tcl yourself.

Thanks Frank,

It seems that the memory usage keeps increasing. My model is very simple it is only one element.
Here is the script.

Hi Frank,

Did you get a chance to look at my script to see where the source memory error is?
Thanks,
Majid
