Error or Warning Message

Publishing i-models user may get the following error:

Fatal Error – Insufficient heap memory to complete current operation – application will exit.

Explanation

There are many reasons for this. The most common is running out of memory or software is hitting a resource limit while publishing i-model.

How to Avoid

Option 1

Try publishing larger referenced files separately. In Bentley i-model Composer open single file -> publish to i-model. After you have references already published to i-models then open master file and publish it. At this step Bentley i-model Composer takes existing i-models of referenced file and saves some memory.

 

Option 2 - Improve available resources

Minimize Unnecessary Demand on Resources

Close unnecessary applications.

Memory

Bentley i-model Composer is a x32 bit application. Review the following links explaining the memory usage for MicroStation (the same applies to Bentley i-model Composer)
