Question:

Can nTopology use virtual memory?

Applies to:

• RAM
• Pagefile

Answer:

Yes, nTopology can use virtual memory.

To increase the Virtual Memory (pagefile), we recommend following this article. Note: that this article isn't written by nTopology and this link will take you to a different website.

• • We recommend the following pagefile size for running simulations:
    • On the Pagefile window, check "Custom Size" change the min to 100000 and max 400000. It may give you a warning, but it should be fine.
    • Online recommends using 1.5x(RAM) as the min and 4x(RAM) as the largest, but we have seen good results with the above values.
