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 can perform both eigen analysis and Ritz analysis. Parallelization options are available to take advantage of multiple processors.

DirectX Graphics

Sophisticated and efficient meshing techniques

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.
