What is the relation between meshing and memory in CST?

This easy and simply!think

I thought and have'nt found any answer

kocha

1000 mesh cells = 1 MB of RAM???

I think your answer is very unhelpful here. If people just though then people shouldn't be asking questions and others shouldn't be answering them. This is not obvious but a simple test using task manager and running a few models with increasing mesh cells in CST can provide some insight. Generally FDTD and FIT codes should scale linearly, say, factor 1.1 or 1.2 (memory increase with mesh cells) but this depends on other factors such as losses, PML, monitors etc. the linearity is a really major feature which allows large models to be simulated.
