I don't think there's much you can do - I suspect that you're just running out of memory. Realize that storing even a single field component in a 256x256 cell with a resolution of 32 would require half a gigabyte of memory, and Meep needs to store much more than a single field component. You probably need to go to a parallel machine if you want a computation of that size. Or find some way to reduce the size of your computational cell. _______________________________________________ meep-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://ab-initio.mit.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/meep-discuss
