Hardware Requirements

Last updated: 02 January 2024

Because computer hardware specifications are constantly changing, for optimum results always use the fastest hardware commercially available with the maximum amount of memory and disk space that you can obtain.

Speed of use when building LUSAS models and the time required to analyse and process the results from a model can vary a great deal depending upon the size of model, the loadcases considered and the types of analysis performed. As such it is difficult to be too specific about minimum hardware requirements for general applications. The following are provided for general information:

Minimum Recommended
Core i5 processor (or similar) with at least 8Gb of RAM and at least 80Gb of free disk space.
