System Requirements

Operating System:
- Windows 10 or later
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
CPU Architecture: x64 (ARM not yet supported)
Browser: Chrome 115, Edge 115, Firefox 115 or Safari 16, or any later version. The web interface is built to that language level, and an older browser cannot run it. The 3D view is rendered on the server and arrives as a stream of images, so the browser itself needs no graphics capability
Runtime: none to install. The web service is published self-contained, so it carries the runtime it needs. A .NET project that references the HiAPI packages directly is the one case that needs a runtime installed, and it must be .NET 10.0 — every published package targets it, and an earlier runtime cannot load them at all
Memory (RAM):
- Minimum: 8GB RAM (suitable for low-resolution models)
- Recommended: 128GB RAM or higher (for large and detailed models)
Graphics:
- OpenGL 3.3 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:

GPU is used only for 3D rendering/visualization, not for computation acceleration
The rendering engine is initialised at startup even if nobody looks at the 3D view. A host with no usable OpenGL context still starts and logs one line saying so: NC play, physics and training run, the 3D view does not
Cloud deployment is supported; for the 3D view choose an instance that has a GPU with its graphics driver installed. An instance with no GPU, or with a GPU whose driver is missing or mismatched, runs headless without 3D
