When configuring a SolidWorks workstation, the amount of RAM is another critical consideration. SolidWorks is memory-intensive, particularly when working with large assemblies, detailed models, or simulations. The software’s performance will degrade if insufficient memory is available. For most users, 16 GB of RAM is considered the baseline, but for more demanding workflows, such as those involving large datasets or complex simulations, 32 GB or more is recommended. Furthermore, RAM speed and bandwidth also play a role in performance, though the effect is less significant than the overall capacity. Memory with faster clock speeds and higher bandwidth can provide slight improvements in data processing and loading times. SolidWorks also benefits from having sufficient memory for handling multi-part assemblies without constantly paging to disk, so ensuring your workstation has adequate RAM is crucial for optimal performance.
