BASEPLANE_2D Crash - is my mesh too large?

Hi,

I have created a computational mesh in SMS, which consists of 1,478,020 points. The size of the resulting 2dm-file is 189 MB.
Problem is: I cannot start a calculation with BASEMENT, as it crashes shortly after I hit the Run button without apparently starting with the calculation.
So I wonder if the mesh is too large for BASEMENT?

I'm running BASEMENT v2.6 on a Windows 10 machine, with an Intel i7-3770 CPU (8 cores) and 32 GB of RAM.
I have set the number of threads to be used to 7 (I usually set this parameter to number of cpu cores minus 1). I have no other major programs running on the system.

Any thoughts? Best

Try to turnoff all 'Special_Output's. Sometimes Shapefile-generation or BaseViz has problems with large meshes.

I have turned off BaseViz - still no change.
Turning off ALL Special Outputs does not make sense to me, because this is the only way I know to obtain the calculation results (e.g. depth, velocity, wse)...
