Hi all, Im new to SolidWorks so I ended up designing my Geocell module (a water storage structure made of mostly voids) which is approx 1m x 0.5m in AutoCAD. After exporting the file back to Solidworks for a pressure simulation Ive encountered great amounts of lag when manipulating my model and cant seem to get a simulation to run even after 2 hours of waiting.

Would appriciate any tips or solutions for my issue.

My goal for this project is to apply the pressure and gather data before repeating with a new plastic material for the structure.

The program also doesnt seem to fully utilise my computer.

My PC specs are:

Nvidia Geforce 5090

Ryzen 9 7800x 3D

64Gb DDR5

m.2 SSD
