Solid Edge Memory usage increases until eventually the Solid Edge Simulation crashes

In this scenario, the longer the user works in Solid Edge, the RAM usage increases until eventually the program crashes.

The user has to continuously shut down and restart the program.

In this particular case, the workflow and the resulting issue runs as follows:

1. Run Solid Edge open an assembly - RAM usage 24% 
2. Run a load simulation on the assembly.  After the simulation is finished, the RAM usage is 53% 
3. Run another load simulation on the assembly.  After the simulation is finished the RAM usage is 69%

This goes on until the program crashes. The client must then shut down and restart Solid Edge between each simulation.

This always returns the RAM usage to the original values.

The first thing for the user to determine is how much RAM they have.

Equally as important is to define their Page file size, as described in the readme.htm in the install folder:

Page file size

"For optimum Solid Edge performance, we recommend you set a custom page file size. The Initial size and the Maximum size should be the same". They should both be set to double the RAM size.  "You can also set a specific memory in the Nastran options".  However, this normally is only necessary when Solid Edge prompts for low memory during a solve.
