RAM memory & Dofs

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear all,

I am going to update my computer for a larger 3D fluid model. My computer can handle 1,400,000 Dofs with
6 RAM GB and 2 i5 cores using segregated iterative solvers.

What RAM and processors do I need if I need to solve a same problem with 10 times more Dofs? Do I just need to go from 6 GB to 60 GB ?

Thank you very much.
Best wishes
