       While solving the Modal analysis i am gettin gthe following error , which i i feel because of memory issue only. Here i was using the quadratic elements , when i changed it into the linear elemnt it solved my modal analysis in just 20 minutes but quadratic it showing this error. As quadratic are better i wanted to use that element, so could please tell any possible solution . FYI  my PC confiuration is  512 Gb Ram 3 Tb harddisk with 64 core.

      Hi Bala, it seems the issue of large model, can you try reducing the mesh count while keeping quadratic elements?

      As per table 4.3 it may take 374 to 664 GB RAM to solve this model in core. 

      https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/Secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v231/en/ans_per/perlineqsolv.html%23d0e1145

      you may want to try using DSPOPTION https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/Secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v231/en/ans_cmd/Hlp_C_DSPOPTION.html and force this analysis out of core. Please note you will need about 664 GB hard drive space in that case. Also, that hard drive space should be in the same partition where the temp directory is located:

      Thanks for detail reply. This out of core option has worked it solved my modal analysis, but further when i tried to to solve transient analysis by using MSUP its crashing the Ansys mechanical. Due to some reason i had to interrupt my transient analysis solution process, but after doing this my ansys mechanical is not opening , just crashing when i am trying to open.
