BTW, how are you running out of ram? You should be able to increase your swap file size to accommodate as much as winXP 32 can handle. It just gets incredibly slow as it has to access the hard drive so much.

I've restricted VM to prevent the solver from getting too out of control... It's a slow laptop hard drive... When I gave it a lot more, solver time went up in excess of a week. It's just too much time for something I'm not sure will even work
Question for you... Is there a way to scale assemblies? That is, I have a rather large/complicated 1:1 assembly that I want to scale down to maybe 1:8.. I haven't been able to figure out how to do that
