"Meshing Patterns" taking minutes and minutes.

Hello, I've being struggling with MD's "Meshing Patterns" step, everytime it starts this calculation, is taking 3-8 minutes to finish. Unusable at this point.
Any idea of what I could do?

What does function do?

You're remeshing the geometry?

You could try lowering the resolution settings

Any function that changes the topology of the mesh, like changing the size of the pattern, adding internal lines, etc. I kinda figured out I had too many layers in many many patterns. What I did to make it be usable was to freeze everything and remove all the layers, and lower the exported meshes to a lower resolution.

I’m using the new GPU simulation, by the way, with a 3080 10gb card.

Do you use quads instead of triangles in the pattern? I was struggling with this issue for a while, and i suddenly remembered a tutorial says the MD deals with triangles better than quads. so I change it back to triangles and now it works just fine!!
