SCALE 6: Problems with meshview

Hello

I'm doing some flux and dose calculations with MAVRIC, and I'm trying to view the mesh results with Meshview. The only file that I can open is the xxx.geometry.3dmap, which really is not very useful.

The important files, (for exampe, the mesh source or mesh responses) are not opened. The only thing I get is a pop-up message like "The file you have selected xxx.mim is estimated to require 95038132 bytes" (for example). "This is larger than the memory allocated to the Java Virtual Machine from your system"

"(...)Do you wish to try to load the file anyway?"

If I answer Yes, simply other message says "Please wait, loading

file: xxx.mim" ... and that's all !!

I have read the same problem from other user (note 28 on notebook) but I have not seen an answer ...

Carlos Casado,

 Sounds like your mesh files are too big for the amount of memory on your computer.

 If you are on a PC, try modifying the file scale6/cmds/meshview.bat.

In that batch file, there is a command that looks like

call GetAvailableMemory

or

call GetAvailableMemory 0.7

The value is what fraction of memory to allow Java to use.

Try increasing the number. If you get too high, Java won't start.

Hi Douglas

 Thak you for your solution. I have modified the available memory as "call GetAvailableMemory 0.75" (this is the maximum value I can reach: if I put 0.76, meshview doesn´t work). Now, all the mesh files can be opened by meshviewer properly.

 Best Regards
