Mesh refinement

Coreform Cubit Meshing

Hi~

I am working on a mesh with size of 4 G, and I am trying to refine it globally using “refine volume all numsplit 1”. But Trelis shows “Not responding” for several hours or maybe longer.

Is this because the mesh file is too large to operate?
Or any suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks!

The time it takes to do mesh refinement will depend on the amount of memory your computer has. You may want to check the memory usage while doing the mesh refinement.

Thanks for your reply. I am currently using a server with memory of 500 Gb to refine the mesh and the memory usage is about 50%, but the refinement process has still run for a week. Could Trelis handle this kind of refinement? Or do you have some suggestion to deal with this problem?

Thanks in advance.
