If the model has not been saved yet, use:
Files->Save
And give a name to the model.
To begin the analysis choose:
Calculate->Calculate
The analysis runs as a separate process. Then, it is possible to continue working with GiD or exit the program. When the analysis is finished, a window will appear notifying it. If it has not run successfully, one window showing some error info will be supplied. Correct the error and run again.
It is possible to visualize, when the process is running, some information about its evolution. Press:
Calculate->View process info
To get it. One of the most important information that can be obtained in this window is the amount of RAM memory, expressed in Megabytes, needed by the solver. The total amount of memory required by the analysis code if somewhat bigger. For skyline solver, the total amount is about 10% more. For Sparse solver, it is about the double of memory. This data gives an idea of the maximum problem that can be solved in a given computer.
This specific analysis needs about 25Mb of memory to execute (it should be necessary a RAM of 64Mb or 96Mb to run it correctly). Using an Sparse solver, it would need much less memory.
