SAPFire Analysis Engine

CSI Solvers have been tried and tested by the industry for over 45 years. The SAPFire Analysis Engine can support multiple 64-bit solvers for analysis optimization and perform both eigen analysis and Ritz analysis. Parallelization options are available to take advantage of multiple processors.

SAFE offers a single user interface to perform modeling, analysis, design and reporting. A new model explorer is available for quick access to objects, properties and forms.

Processor

• Minimum: Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64
• Recommended: 9th generation Intel Core i5/i7/i9, AMD Ryzen 5/7/9 with Zen 2 architecture, or better desktop CPU
• A 64-bit CPU is required.
• The SAPFire^® Analytical Engine includes multi-threaded solvers and algorithms that can take advantage of multi-core CPUs. The design algorithms can also utilize multiple cores.

Operating System

• Microsoft^® Windows 10 or 11 (64 bit)

Video Card

• Minimum: Supporting 1024 by 768 resolution and 16 bits colors for standard (GDI+) graphics mode
• Recommended: Discrete video card with NVIDIA GPU or equivalent and dedicated graphics RAM (512 Mb or larger) for DirectX graphics mode. The card must be DirectX 11 Compatible.
• DirectX graphics mode fully utilizes the hardware acceleration provided by a GPU and dedicated graphics RAM.
• For better graphics quality in terms of anti-aliasing and line thickness, the device raster drawing capabilities should support legacy depth bias.

Memory

• Minimum: 8 GB RAM
• The problem size that can be solved and the speeds for solution & response recovery increase considerably with more RAM.

Disk Space

• 6 GB to install the software.
• Additional space will be required for running and storing model files and analysis results, dependent upon the size of the models
• Recommended: 500GB or larger PCIe Solid State Drive (SSD). External and network drives are not recommended.
