 Hardware requirements Summary of changes for V5.19: This release updates related operating system requirements. Common hardware requirements: The following requirements are common to all operating systems supported by this release. Platform-specific requirements are specified in subsequent topics below. - Required components and features
- Disk drive: An internal or external disk drive (minimum recommended size is 4 GB) is required to store program executables, program data, the user environment, and to supply paging space. Installation of all CATIA V5 products requires 2.0 GB on Microsoft(R) Windows(R), 2.4 GB on AIX(R), 2.7 GB on HP-UX, and 2.3 GB on Solaris.
- Memory: 256 MB of RAM is the minimum recommended for all applications. 512 MB of RAM is recommended for DMU applications on large assemblies and for the Digitized Shape Editor 2 (DSE) product. Requirements may be greater when large amounts of data are used.
- Internal/external drives: Internal/external drives: A CD-ROM drive is required for program installation and for access to the online documentation, which can optionally be downloaded to disk.
- Display: A graphics color display compatible with the selected platform-specific graphics adapter. The minimum recommended size for usability reasons is 17 inches. Minimum resolution for Windows workstations is 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 1024 for UNIX(R) workstations. When selecting a graphics adapter, hardware texturing capability is strongly recommended when using CATIA V5 products that use texture mapping, in which case the amount of texture RAM has to be adequate for the number and complexity of textures to be used.
- Keyboard: A specific keyboard compatible with the selected installation locale may be required for national language support.
- Pointing device: Three-button mouse. On Windows workstations, a two-button mouse may alternatively be used (the third button is emulated with a keyboard sequence). The three-button mouse is recommended for usability reasons. IntelliMouse (two buttons plus a wheel instead of the third button) is an alternative to the three-button mouse on Windows workstations. The wheel acts as the middle button to allow additional manipulations, such as panning and scrolling.
- Optional components and features:Optional components and features: For CATIA P2 and P3, SpaceBall or SpaceMouse, in addition to the standard mouse, can be used to perform graphic manipulations (zoom, pan, rotate). The required drivers are delivered with these devices. Support of these devices is also available with the DMU Navigator 1 and DMU Space Analysis 1 P1 products.
The robustness of the overall solution is dependent on the robustness of the operating system and the hardware environment used. Windows XP and UNIX hardware configurations certified by Dassault Systemes for running CATIA V5 products are published here Although CATIA V5 products might run on configurations or with graphic adapters other than those specified for each of the platforms below, incidents specific to such configurations or adapters will not be accepted for support.
