System Requirements

• Operating System:
  • Windows 10 or later
  • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
• CPU Architecture: x64 (ARM not yet supported)
• Browser: Chrome 115, Edge 115, Firefox 115 or Safari 16, or any later version. The web interface is built to that language level, and an older browser cannot run it. The 3D view is rendered on the server and arrives as a stream of images, so the browser itself needs no graphics capability
• Runtime: none to install. The web service is published self-contained, so it carries the runtime it needs. A .NET project that references the HiAPI packages directly is the one case that needs a runtime installed, and it must be .NET 10.0 — every published package targets it, and an earlier runtime cannot load them at all
• Memory (RAM):
  • Minimum: 8GB RAM (suitable for low-resolution models)
  • Recommended: 128GB RAM or higher (for large and detailed models)
• Graphics:
  • OpenGL 3.3 compatible graphics card or integrated graphics
  • Most computers manufactured within the last 15 years meet this requirement

Performance Guidelines for High-Resolution Simulation

Based on internal testing and practical experience:

CPU Considerations

• High clock speed is prioritized over multiple cores
• Single-thread performance is more important than multi-core parallelization
• For small NC programs: 16GB RAM is workable

Graphics and GPU

• GPU is used only for 3D rendering/visualization, not for computation acceleration
• A working OpenGL context is required even if nobody looks at the 3D view: the rendering engine is initialised at startup, and the software will not start without one
• Cloud deployment is supported, but choose an instance that has a GPU with its graphics driver installed. Instances with no GPU, or with a GPU whose driver is missing, are the usual cause of a failed start

Storage Performance

• SSD (Solid State Drive) recommended for optimal simulation efficiency
• Traditional HDD may cause significant performance degradation.
