Responsiveness

Hi everyone,

Am I the only one to be concerned by the very bad responsiveness of AecoSim (all versions, Connect seems even worse than SS) ?

Load time is long. OK, we can understand it. This is the same for Photoshop for example.

But drawing, modeling, typing,accessing tools,changing layers...everything is slow. Not dramatically but enough to be anoying and very unpleasant. And in our job, no pleasure = bad design.

For example, right-click one element to get his properties....2 or 3 seconds. Turn off a layer in the Level Display: 1 sec. ff you move too quick, other unwanted levels turn off too. Change from one task to another: 1 to 2 sec....Even the mouse is not fluid when you hoover on elements...

And all this is not hardware or windows related: it is the same on all our workstations even the top ones (32GB ram, SSD, GTX1080Ti,....),vanilla installs, all versions of Aecosim.

So please, take this very seriously.

Connect UI is nice (need little practice to get into) and COULD be effective but it HAS TO BE extremely fast and responsive.

I am interested to know if this feeling is shared by the community.

regards,

Xtov.

  • I'm also having responsiveness issues, especially when changing between files with reference attachments that are from old V8i projects. The application hangs from anywhere between 30 seconds and 5 minutes. Obviously, this isn't really acceptable, especially as V8i was so fast.

    Our tech support has said to compress reference attachments, but it hasn't helped.

    Any tips?

  • We have the same issue as I used to jump from file to file designing as I go.  Now opening files is very slow and too many time it will revert to an hour glass in the middle of tasks.  I did notice a change to 4 but also found out with our hiring some support that modifications have to be done in particular was - duplicates for example are now more of an issue and can cause crashing and lags.

    Our old datasets are bad as we cannot tell where things are updated and no tools to update them so I have to take each library and remove the items that are duplicate to the originals and then run the one utility we have seen to update each again for assurance.

    Things are smoother but way to slow and bumpy.

    Too many times I wait to see if it will open or the hour glass stop - could be 10 sec or 30 minutes.  Some times it crashes and some time I have to crash it and open again.  It it spins for 10 minutes and I crash it and reopen.  It may open immediately, justifying the reason for me to crash it.  But not always - SO I can never tell it is crashing or needs the time to process.

    I did notice when looking at my resources - as i did in the original Bentley Architecture what appears to be a memory leak or a point to where the limit or memory usage is not enough and the processing is being handled below a threshold and trying to get everything finished in very little memory or process.

    It appears processing is capped at about 18% of my processing power and 20% of my memory.  If I watch both when working a task I see that as I get to those limits things either complete and the resources reappear or it get slower to the point of almost stopping - as if it needs the memory and CPU to work but now only has a small ceiling of resources and creeps.
