How to fix memSIZE limtation in ADAMS/Solver?

Hi,
In order to run ADAMS for OC3-Hywind for time duration up to 5000 second, I faced with memsize limitation error. So I modified Adams - Settings> MSCA>ASolver.Prefrences>memSIZE to Custom. Then using command window to set custom memsize i encountered with following errors:

c:\MyProject>mdadams2010 cmm

Note i am using IVF 11.00.066 32bit with VS2008.
Is there anyone to have experience in this case or know how to fix this problem.
Any comment will be appreciable.

Medhi,

We typically set Adams memSize to “huge” to run our simulations. I have not, however, run a 5000-second simulation with Adams, so I cannot say if that is large enough.

I haven’t used the “custom” setting, but my version says “If you select (Custom) you must have already created a special user version as described in Running Adams on Windows.” Did you follow those instructions?

Dear Bonnie,

Yes, I followed that instructions. According to ADAMS help, in order to run simulation with custom memSize we must first build a uconfg_user.dll file using Fortran compiler then by setting memSIZE to Custom you will able to run your simulation. The problem that i faced is in compiling and making uconfg_user.dll file.

Any help to solve the problem and make uconfg_user.dll file is appreciable.

Regards,
Mehdi,

Dear Medhi,

Have you contacted MSC.Software about your problem? It seems to be more of an ADAMS issue than one related to using our software.

thanks Marshall,

I contacted them as well, but no comment to fix the problem(until now).

It will be more appreciable if there is anyone to have experience in this case to share.

I’m sorry, but I have not used ADAMS in many years. It’s probably been a decade since I’ve tried to build an ADAMS DLL.
