Hi,

This is a common complaint.

Assuming you installed the 64 bit version of Real Flow, 32 Gig is a lot of memory. Unless you're using many millions of particles, you're not necessarily going to see that much ram usage.

As to CPU percentage… the Intel 4960x Haswell is 4 cores, yes? If so, then how much CPU power is used depends again on how many particles you are using. The job of splitting the particles calculations up between 2 or more cores is fairly complicated and can take a fair amount of CPU power itself. What RealFlow does is decides how many cores to use based on how many particles and how much loss of CPU power there would be splitting up the job.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Oldcode is right. The ram consume will depend on the amount of particles in the scene and they will depend on the cell size parameter you set for your hybrido domain and objects interacting with the fluid.
