System Requirements
Disclaimer: The Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Collection includes multiple software applications, each with its specific system requirements. The following provides a general overview of the typical system requirements for products within this collection. Always refer to the official Autodesk website for the most accurate and up-to-date system requirements for specific products.
General System Requirements
- Operating System: Primarily 64-bit Windows operating systems (specific versions vary by product)
- Processor: Multi-core processor, typically Intel Core i7 or equivalent or higher
- Memory (RAM): 16 GB or more, with 32 GB or more recommended for complex projects and simulations
- Hard Disk Space: Sufficient space for installation, project files, and temporary files (varies based on product and project size)
- Display: High-resolution monitor (1920 x 1080 or higher) with True Color capabilities
- Graphics Card: A dedicated graphics card is recommended, especially for products with advanced visualization and simulation features
Additional Considerations
- Specific Product Requirements: Individual PDM Collection products may have additional or more stringent system requirements. For instance, software focused on simulation or rendering might demand higher-end hardware.
- Large Project Handling: Projects with extensive datasets or complex assemblies may require more powerful hardware.
- Virtualization: Some PDM Collection products may have limitations or specific requirements when running in virtualized environments.
- Network Performance: For cloud-based collaboration and data sharing, a stable and high-speed internet connection is essential.
Recommended Hardware for PDM Workflows
To handle the demands of product design and manufacturing effectively, consider investing in a workstation-class computer with the following characteristics:
- Powerful processor: Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen Threadripper or equivalent
- Ample RAM: 32 GB or more, with 64 GB or more for demanding tasks
- High-performance graphics card: NVIDIA or AMD workstation-class graphics card with dedicated VRAM
- Large and fast storage: SSD for system and application files, HDD for large project data
- Multiple monitors: For improved productivity and workspace management
By understanding these general system requirements and considering your specific project needs, you can select the appropriate hardware to optimize your product design and manufacturing workflow.
