Hi everyone,
I am currently designing in SolidWorks a Baja vehicle that has well over 100 different parts in the Assembly and everytime I open it it takes about 2 mins to open and then to perform mates and rotate the assembly it takes well over thirty second or more of lag!
I am actually looking into building a CAD computer to run my Solidworks (32 bit), ANSYS and Matlab.
Could you guys give me a list of computer parts that I would be able to use to build a computer that would be able to run these programs smoothly because I am consistently building assemblies containing any where from 100 - 300 parts!
Right now I have a Labtop (4GB ram, 32 bit) that runs all these and it does good with small assembly's ( 6 to 7 parts) but with this baja Senior Design Project I can't even really work efficiently on it because the lag is so bad. Unfortunetly time is money right now!
LAPTOP SPECS:
Intel Core2 Duo mobile processor
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT GPU
4 GB RAM
32 BIT SYSTEM
My price limit on this is around $800 because I am a poor Senior in college!
Thanks,
Phillip
