In SIMARIS project, you can map a network comprising about 22 cubicles of low-voltage switchgear if 1GB of RAM is available on your computer, or a network with 30 cubicles in case of 2GB RAM. This information refers to a project, i.e. the cubicles contained in several low-voltage switchgear units within the same project add up. This development is not linear, any further RAM increase does not result in more cubicles being processed. This is due to MS Windows constraints.

In order to increase the allocation of RAM in the software, please set the requirement for the maximum RAM in the "SIMARISproject.ini" file to a higher value. You will find the "SIMARISproject.ini" file in the “Sp2.0” root directory of your SIMARIS software installation. In "SIMARISproject.ini", please change the entry "-Xmx768m" to "-Xmx1024m". This increases the RAM from the default value of 768MB to 1024MB.

If you would like to import larger networks from SIMARIS design, we recommend that you split the network in two parts. If necessary, you can then add the missing coupling in SIMARIS project.

Regarding other plants (medium voltage sections, transformers, busbar systems, distribution boards), there is no restriction as to build up any number of plants comprising any number of cubicles/panels within a project.
