Hi ...

I'm a new Apprentice HD user, and finding my way around.

I am getting Memory Allocation Errors when running certain dynamics simulations e.g. This has happened when running a number of the example files.

At the moment of one crash, (frame 49 of a simulation) houdini.exe is using 770MB of memory but my computer has 2GB.

Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 2GB RAM, Win XP Pro SP2

Could you advise me of what is happening? Is there a way round this?

Thanks
Richard

Are you using Windows Vista, 32bit?

If so, you're going to have disable the caching on your DOP Network nodes. For reasons not understood by mankind, 32bit Vista seems behave awfully.

No it's XP Pro SP2, but it sounds like the same issue as disabling caching seems to reduce memory usage dramatically.

Thanks
