PC Memory problem?

Hi,
I have been using DB v1.5.076 for several months and have come up against an issue with a large building (12 storey air conditioned offices with glazed exterior and about 6 zones per storey). I can calculate the EPC (slowly) but if I change anything the SBEM calculation terminates half way through, advising reference to software vendor! If I restart the PC, I can then re-calculate. It looks as though the RAM memory is too small (350MB) to allow overwriting of new details as the model runs OK on my laptop with 1GB memory.

Has anybody else had issues like this?

Tim,

I suggest you try the latest release to see if this helps - it has many optimisations to speed up calcs and should allow huge buildings to be calculated.
