FlexSim get slower and slower during the day until I reopen Quick Properties

Hello, I've noticed that FlexSim gets slower and slower during the day while I'm working on the same model. Things become more and more slow to select, open, move, etc.

I becomes noticable after 1-2 hours and becomes worse and worse until I close and restart FlexSim.

And all I have to do to fix this is close and restart FlexSim and all is back to super fast.

It does that no matter what model type or size I'm working on.

Could it be something with my graphics card that accumulates junk and then deletes it when I close FlexSim?

Anyone else notice this? Is it normal?

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.0.2

The undo feature collects data to recover previous states of a model. Can you document relevant states like memory consumption and cpu usage from the task manager of windows system while you work?

I made print screens of the Windows Task Manager performance graphs and there is no difference for any component (CPU, GPU, RAM, etc) between when I start FlexSim and after 2 hours of working with it.

Have you tried closing and reopening the (quick) properties panel? Does that rectify the issue?

It seems to be fixing it but I recently restarted FlexSim so not sure. Have to leave for the week-end. I will test for real Monday.

Hello @Patrick Cloutier, Were you able to test Jason's suggestion?

Not well enough to be convinced that it is the solution so that's why I didn't approve the answer yet.

I accepted this answer because I don't want to leave the post open but the solution is not conclusive. Thanks Jason.

I now confirm without a doubt that closing/reopening the Properties panel solves the problem,

But is this issue the same for everyone? Or is it something specific to my computer/set-up?

Understood - in the past the Properties panel could definitely slow things down but it seems it's much better in the current versions. The other thing you could try if/when it next happens is to reopen the default workspace - if that helps then let us know so we can alert someone to the fact (or you can email in directly of course).
