Inventor Pro hanging in dynamic simulation mode.
I have just built a CAD workstation (Z97WS/i7-4790k) and whilst Inventor runs fine in sketch and assembly modes, it hangs as soon as I go into dynamic simulation. I have installed the latest service packs and updates, disabled my AV software, downloaded the latest drivers, increased virtual memory to the max recommended, reduced screen resolution, removed programs that have been know to cause issues, uninstalled and reinstalled the program (having deleted the original registry entries as per Autodesk's instructions), played around with the graphic card settings in the Nvidia control panel but all to no effect.
I am told that my system , which runs at 4.00Ghz (with 4.4 turbo boost) should be quite capable of running the program without any problems but it doesn't.
As soon as I click on dynamic simulation the cursor starts flickering quickly between an arrow and an egg-timer. Simultaneously, Nortons pops-up with "High CPU useage (100%) and the program hangs with a "not responding".
I don't think the issue is being caused by Inventor and having looked at the problem some time , there is probably some sluggishness with some of the other, more processeor intensive, programs I use.
The Quadro K620 is certified by Autodesk for use with Inventor. The GPU graph shows less than 50% usage when the program hangs.
I am at a loss as to what else to do and would be grateful for some help.
PS I sent the model that exhibits the problem to Autodesk and apparently they ran it without any issues. The same issue occurs with other simple models.
