Sudden slow-motion on topsolid and sketchup

Other sections CAD Materials

Hello 

I am an office student and have been using several CAD software (AutoCAD, Sketchup and Topsolid mainly) since the beginning of September, all of them are going well until last week when after 2 hours of using TopSolid the software starts to have big idle until it becomes unusable. So I thought it was a bug in the software and I reinstalled it completely but still the same problem... And today when I launch SketchUp I see that the same problem arises. It seems that the problem only affects the 3D modeling since I haven't had the problem on AutoCAD yet and but other software/games runs without problems.

FYI I use an MSI appache pro with an  i7, a 970 3govram, 8GB of ram, a 128 GB  ssd (on which the software and windows are installed), a 1TB h DD.

 

thank you in advance for your answers

Hello

Can you tell me which version of Topsolid you use? the 6 or the 7?

Topsolid recommends having at least 16GB of RAM for version 7. This could explain the slowdowns for the 2 software if you run SketchUp with TopSolid open behind

I'm using version 6.15 and it even bugs when I create a new project, and for SketchUp I open it on my own...

But when I look at the stat top solids only uses 2GB of RAM and I have 4 left available, so I think rather that there is something that restricts the use of RAM for these softwares but I can't find what..

PS: I use the 64-bit version of the software and I'm obviously on a 64-bit Windows
