System Requirements

  • Operating System:
    • Windows 10 or later
    • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  • CPU Architecture: x64 (ARM not yet supported)
  • Runtime: .NET 9.0 or later
  • Memory (RAM):
    • Minimum: 8GB RAM (suitable for low-resolution models)
    • Recommended: 128GB RAM or higher (for large and detailed models)
  • Graphics:
    • OpenGL 4.4 compatible graphics card or integrated graphics
    • Most computers manufactured within the last 15 years meet this requirement

Performance Guidelines for High-Resolution Simulation

Based on internal testing and practical experience:

CPU Considerations

  • High clock speed is prioritized over multiple cores
  • Single-thread performance is more important than multi-core parallelization
  • For small NC programs: 16GB RAM is workable

Graphics and GPU

  • GPU is used only for 3D rendering/visualization, not for computation acceleration
  • Always verify OpenGL 4.4 compatibility when using cloud computing resources. Since cloud-hosted virtual machines often lack proper OpenGL support.

Storage Performance

  • SSD (Solid State Drive) recommended for optimal simulation efficiency
  • Traditional HDD may cause significant performance degradation.
