Hello, did anyone experience sudden crashes with system reboot while running an optimization on CST MWS 2008? Despite I have tried a clean system install, while I try to optimize some parameters of a normal biquad antenna, just to achieve experience with this suite, I could never successfully end the task. My system is as follows: XP SP3 on a 50 GB partition of a U-320 RAID-10, over a dual 2.8 GHz Xeon SuperMicro X5dl8gg mainboard with 2 GB RAM. Similar dimensions used on 4NEC2 give quite reasonable results. The aforementioned system had no similar crashes in its whole life.
To be more detailed I launched an optimization for the reflector lips height vs VSWR and all the times it crashed after a few iterations. It looks as a bug in my model, but I have no indication as previous simulations appear to run correctly. Any hint?
I see they aren't.
By the way the tests I made in the meantime suggest that it's a hardware problem, don't know the answer. I installed all on another similar machine (SuperMicro P4dc6 dual 2.4 GHz Xeon, 2 GB RIMM U-160 RAID-10) with a new XP installation and, though a slower system, it had no crashes.
