Assembly - Hanging Up

[Asho Pulsar]

HI guys,


I am just doing one concept design of a server chassis. The assembly consists of 20 sub-assemblies and 74 parts. The assembly folderhas 118 MB in size. The problem what i am facing, each and every time i open to modify some partsin the assembly, the assembly get stuck up. But I am sure that ihave opened the assembly in the Lightweight mode.I have to end that program forcibly using windows task manager.


Even my comp's configuration is also good. Its a work station, Dell Precision PWS390, Intel core 2 CPU 6420 @2.13GHz and 2 GB RAM.


Please someone help me out to ger rid of this problem...

Tryto reinstall SW. Maybe is damaged.


Your assembly work fine for a time and now, suddenly, it has troubles ? If YES, it is possible to have cyrcularimates ( or in context sketches) and SW cycle when try to solve all of them. Open one to oneeach subassembly and, ifyou have the same problemwith one of them, you must be happy: you find where the problem is. If not... the problem is in the principal assembly.


Hope this is a help for you.


Good luck !

I had the same problem. I called my VAR and he said it sounded like a video driver. Sure enough it was. I downloaded a driver for my card that was tested and approved by SolidWorks. Everything is working just fine now. Good luck.

Hey guyz, is it really the comps configuration problem. I dont think so. Have a look at my comps configuration below:

Maybe your card is too big Mem wise. the larger the graphics card the more system memory is needed to run it. you can't have a 512 MB card with only 1 Gig of ram because it takes RAM resources to process the information displayed by the card. Right click the Assembly tree and show the update holders or incontext references that need to be updated during rebuild. You can change the order in which these are evaluated and prevent circular relations similar to order of calculations for Equations.

Assembly Xpert tool would be another thing to consider investigating to see if there is anything wrong with your assembly
