System Requirements

SpatialAnalyzer is capable of running on most any modern computing platform with a full Windows operating system. To run on a Mac a Windows environment must be installed such as using Boot Camp or something similar.

 

Minimum Requirements:

A basic computer configuration that supports SA would include:

Recommendations for Optimal Performance:

The system outlined below will provide a good base platform for using the most advanced features of SA. With this equipment, measurement data may be gathered with high data rates (1 kHz sampling rates) into complex models containing numerous CAD surfaces.

 

Examples of machines with these configurations are available at www.dell.com:

 

Recommendations for Advanced Operations

Certain operations such as working with very large CAD models or extensive point cloud measurement require considerable system resources. These situations could benefit from a system such as the following:

 

Additional Considerations

NVIDIA CUDA has been integrated to accelerate certain functions within SA, such as USMN (large network alignment). You can get a significant benefit from an NVIDIA graphics card that supports CUDA parallel computing for these operations.

Graphic Performance can be greatly impacted by basic computer settings. If you have any issue with lagging graphical display please read this article: https://kinematics.my.site.com/SA/s/article/Troubleshooting-Graphical-Issues
