Hi! I’m having a bit of a headace importing 3d models from our mechanic design team. See the detailed error description below. The only error I can find in the description is “Error : Translation aborted due to out of memory allocation problem” which appears a few times. Is this memory allocation problem hardware or software related? Im running RS5.15 on win7(32bit) enterprise on a computer with specs that meet and go way beyond the minimum requirements for RS5.15 Thanks in advance, keep up the good work! / David RobotStudio .NET exception: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Translator Name : Spatial InterOp Connect ( Version : 23 0 0) System Name : Windows\_NT Machine Name : M6600-6ZLKBT1 User Name : KS04212 Source System : Inventor Destination System : ACIS Input File : C:Usersks04212DesktopBlstercell\_080439\_V2.ipt Start Time : Fri Dec 14 08:13:52 2012 * * * ## Message : === Translation Options === Message : TranslateAttributes : true Message : TranslateHiddenEntities : false Message : Representation : BRep+Assembly Message : Healing : true Message : =========================== -------------------------Source File Header Information------------------------- Modification Date : Wed Dec 12 10:03:16 2012 File Name : “Utredning Pick N Place/ fixturer / Gripdon - Substitute” Author : “JC” Organization : “CSM” Source System : Inventor Version : 2012 Comment : Units : MILLIMETER Document Type : Part * * * ## Source Document Preprocessing Result : Success * * * ## Target Document Preprocessing Result : Success * * * ## Start BRep ## Error : Translation aborted due to out of memory allocation problem ## Target Document Postprocessing Result : Success * * * ## Target Document Postprocessing Result : No Entity to Translate * * * ## ---------------------------Document Conversion Summary-------------------------- Finish Time : Fri Dec 14 08:13:53 2012 * * * ## Translation Result : Aborted * * * ## ============================================ Base exception: GeoException Translator Name : Spatial InterOp Connect ( Version : 23 0 0) System Name : Windows\_NT Machine Name : M6600-6ZLKBT1 User Name : KS04212 Source System : Inventor Destination System : ACIS Input File : C:Usersks04212DesktopBlstercell\_080439\_V2.ipt Start Time : Fri Dec 14 08:13:52 2012 * * * ## Message : === Translation Options === Message : TranslateAttributes : true Message : TranslateHiddenEntities : false Message : Representation : BRep+Assembly Message : Healing : true Message : =========================== -------------------------Source File Header Information------------------------- Modification Date : Wed Dec 12 10:03:16 2012 File Name : “Utredning Pick N Place/ fixturer / Gripdon - Substitute” Author : “JC” Organization : “CSM” Source System : Inventor Version : 2012 Comment : Units : MILLIMETER Document Type : Part * * * ## Source Document Preprocessing Result : Success * * * ## Target Document Preprocessing Result : Success * * * ## Start BRep ## Error : Translation aborted due to out of memory allocation problem ## Target Document Postprocessing Result : Success * * * ## Target Document Postprocessing Result : No Entity to Translate * * * ## ---------------------------Document Conversion Summary-------------------------- Finish Time : Fri Dec 14 08:13:53 2012 * * * ## Translation Result : Aborted * * * Server stack trace: at RobotStudio.Services.Geometry.ModelerService.Import(String bstrImportFileName, GeoPart pPart, CADFormat fmt, Boolean bTranslateHidden, Boolean bHealing, IProgressCallback pProgress, String bstrLogFile) at RobotStudio.API.Internal.AssemblyModeler.LoadPart(GraphicComponent parent, String fileName, DetailLevels lods, Boolean surfaceModel, Boolean translateHidden, Boolean healing, IProgressCallback progressCallback) at ABB.Robotics.RobotStudio.Stations.Part.Load(String fileName, IProgressCallback progressCallback, Boolean surfaceModel, Boolean translateHidden, Boolean healing, DetailLevels detail) at ABBInternal.StationLogic.ComponentServices.\<\>c\_\_DisplayClass12.\d\_\_15.MoveNext() Exception rethrown at [0]: at ABBInternal.GUISupport.ProgressDialog.ShowWhile(Func`1 work) at ABBInternal.StationLogic.ComponentServices.ImportComponents(IEnumerable`1 fileNamesOrDocInfos, Boolean importGeometry, IHasGraphicComponents parent, Nullable`1 position, GeoImportOptions geoOptions) ---

Hi David, What’s the size of the CAD-model? The CAD-converter error message indicates there is a problem with memory allocation. Do you have access to a PC with Windows 7 or 8 64-bit version? Then you can use the 64-bit version of RS that has better support for large CAD-models since it can address more memory. ---

Hi! The cad model is no bigger than 51Mb. According to our IT guys a 64bit OS is what will happen if we cannot find any other solution… / David ---
