Slow EPC generation

Post by eddie_spaghetti »

Anyone got any ideas how to speed up the generation of EPCs? With large models (400+ zones) it takes 20 minutes to regenerate an EPC without any simulation, and kills my PC whilst it's doing it - watching the system resources the memory usage for ve.exe climbed from 100mb to 0.5gb before I got bored of watching it. Surely it shouldn't take that long to compare a few numbers and input them into a form?

Unfortunately not, other than running on a faster, more powerful PC we don't have any solution for this at the moment. I will bring it up with our developers to see if they can look at speeding it up or at least create a dialog that informs the user on what is happening in the background.
