Dear all.

 

I would like to ask for hardware requirements for altair hyperxtrude.

 

Something like the following will be ok for example?

 

Cpu: Ryzen 9 3900x
Gpu: Geforce GTX 1660 Super Gaming OC 6gb or Invidia Quadro 620 (because many users propose quadro gpu)
Ram: 64 gb DDR4-3200 MHz
500gb SSD +2Tb HDD

 

Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi,

     

    HyperWorks do support Nvidia graphics cards, but not the Geforce series. Nvidia Quadro series is officially recommended. The Quadro series is more geared towards CAD and graphics designs, while the GeForce line leans towards gaming.

    However, you can still work with the GeForce series. The thing is, you may face some graphical issues.

    Check the GPU recommendation of HyperWorks (pdf)

     

    Also, check this to see the difference between Geforce and Quadro series of Nvidia. You can understand which series is best suited for software/simulation/design application.

    In the attached document, you can see the list of platforms that support Altair HyperWorks.

    Hi Koushik.

     

    Thank you very much for your reply.

     

    Concerning the CPU that I mentioned above (AMD RYZEN 9), do you think that I will face any problems?

     

    Best regards

    cpu will be fine.

     

    For HX you need RAM and CPU. Ryzen will be fine in this case.

    For GPU, the nVidia Quadro P620 2GB will be suitable for hyperxtrude?

    Any Nvidia Quadro GPU should be OK.
