Hi guys,
I'm new to the community and I'm hoping someone might be able to provide some input on an issue I'm having. I'm currently working a very large part with a very large number of features. I'm sure there are bigger parts with more features out there though. This part is at around 7500 features and I'll probably be shy of 8000 when it's done.
I'm trying to put in rounds into corners, as this part will be CNC machined. I've put rounds in about half of the part, but I've reached a point where when I create a round feature, which may contain some 30-40 edges, I have to wait like 10 minutes to generate the feature before I move on the next one.
I can give my machine specs in detail later but It's 16GB ram, 3rd gen i7 and the task manager says I'm using only about 6GB of RAM (including other programs/tasks) and less than 20% of my processor when the round is generating.
The part uses 0.001 absolute accuracy. It was at 0.0001 relative but I have a fair amount of short edges that are unfortunately a necessity for this part.
Anyone have recommendations on speeding up the rounding process? Or know of some limits of the round feature that I'm possibly violating?
