System and Browser Requirements

Supported Platforms and Operating Systems:

• Microsoft Windows 10, 64-bit

Minimum Hardware Requirements for Ansys Student Product Inclusions Except Ansys Discovery:

• Processor(s): Workstation class
• 4 GB RAM
• 25 GB hard drive space
• Computer must have a physical C:/” drive present
• Graphics card and driver: Professional workstation class 3-D
• OpenGL-capable

Minimum Hardware Requirements for Ansys Discovery

• CPU: Pentium® 4 2.0 GHZ or Athlon® 2000+ or faster, 64-bit (x64) processor
• 8 GB RAM
• Ansys Discovery Student relies on the latest GPU technology to provide its computation and visual experience. To run the software, you will require:
  • Graphics Card: A dedicated NVIDIA GPU card (Quadro recommended) based on the Kepler, Maxwell or Pascal architecture. Maxwell 2000 or better is strongly recommended. Most dedicated NVIDIA GPU cards produced in 2013 or later will be based on one of these architectures.
  • At least 4GB of video RAM (8GB preferred) on the GPU. Please ensure that you have the latest driver for your graphics card, available from NVIDIA Driver Downloads. The Discovery Compatibility Utility can be used to determine if your current graphics hardware is capable of supporting Ansys Discovery. Performance of Discovery is less dependent on machine CPU and RAM. A recent generation 64-bit CPU running Windows, and at least 4GB of RAM will be sufficient. If you do not have a graphics card that meets these specifications, the software will not run.
