ArtiosCAD 14.1.2 and ArtiosCAD Enterprise 14.1.2 Client System Requirements

Intel^® Core 2 Duo: 2.4 GHz, 2.4 GHz, required.

To fully take advantage of the 3D Data Exchange module, x86 64-bit processors are recommended, especially for importing files of over 100 MB in size. You will need to consider the 64-bit processors for future releases of ArtiosCAD.

ArtiosCAD is still a 32-bit application. All other uses other than 3D Data Exchange modules will require at a minimum x86 32-bit processor. ArtiosCAD will still run on a 64-bit processor but as a 32-bit application.

Available hard drive space

• You need at least 10G free disk space for the ArtiosCAD application and 1G free disk space on the system partition (C:\)
• If you are using the ArtiosCAD Enterprise client, please reserve an additional 100GB minimally, 200G ideally, for the ArtiosCAD application on the partition which contains the users system profile. This is typically (but not guaranteed to be) on the system partition.
  • ArtiosCAD enterprise utilizes a local cache (Projects on My Computer) and an offline synchronization location which are stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%, and the temp directory to unpack HTTP data which is located at %TEMP%.
  • If Projects on My Computer are not purged at some regular interval, please consider 200G (or more, if the user likes to work offline with many projects).

ArtiosCAD 3D requires a display adapter that is OpenGL and Direct-X compliant.

ArtiosCAD 3D Designer, 3D Connection and Animation require a display adapter with 256 MB or more video RAM. The more powerful the card, the better the 3D experience will be:

• 512 MB video RAM is optimal for lightweight 3D uses
• 1 GB or more is required for solid imports and animation

If you purchased the ArtiosCAD Rubber Nesting feature, ArtiosCAD requires a USB port.

A 3-button mouse is recommended. A 2-button mouse can be used with feature limitations.

TCP/IP v4 required. TCP/IP v6 is not supported.

ArtiosCAD Enterprise 14 uses HTTP as its core communication protocol. For optimal performance, do not drop HTTP to a lower quality of service (QOS), or at least ensure that HTTP traffic directed to the enterprise web server receives higher network priority.

For multi-site enterprise deployments, where a site will communicate with the enterprise frameworks at WAN speeds:

• T1 (1.544 Mbits/s) is required.
• T3 (44Mbits/s) is optimal.
• When deploying fractional T1s for cost considerations, expect lower performance.

Parallels Desktop or VMware^® Fusion^® is supported, but please be aware that Esko doesn't test all combinations of Mac^® OS X and Parallels Desktop/VMware^® Fusion^®.

A situation exists by which HP machines configured with the UEFI firmware crash with a blue screen when ArtiosCAD is installed. At the moment, this is known to happen on HP machines only and is a system crash. Until Esko can investigate the situation, the suggestion would be to build HP machines with the legacy BIOS.

Refer this articles Installation causes computer to crash with Blue Screen error for description and resolution.
