1.4 PC System requirements for using the Tekla Structures
TS software does not require any special PC inner components. Creating
small models up to 500 tons of the metal structures can be done by any
PC, equipped with a discrete graphics chip and a preinstalled operating
system of Windows 8 and more advanced.
It is recommended to use two monitors to ease the work process.
It is not recommended to use:
Outdated PCs over 7-10 years old, due to the loss of the relevance
Laptops, due to low-capacity parameters of graphic chips and low thermal
conduction.
Other portable devices without discrete graphics chips.
HDD, used as the main disk, due to slow response
Monitors with a screen resolution lower than 1920x1080
Devices with RAM less than 4 Gb.
Network interface cards and routers of 10 or 100 Mbit/s due to technological
obsolescence.
Graphic chips NVIDIA Quadro due to low efficiency (lack of hardware acceleration
for TS)
It is recommended to use:
The most relevant versions of the Windows operating system
All discrete graphic chips with the cost over 150$
1st SSD as the master disk for the operating system, PC, and several current
working models.
2nd SSD for backup storage of the current working models (backup storage
disk should be a separate device)
Network Attached Storage NAS (HDD) for final backups of company models
storage ( It is sufficient to get one device for the whole company)
Backup manager to automate the project's file archivation.
Recommended Ram 16Gb
Two monitors with a screen resolution of 2560*1440
Network interface card of 1Gbt/s
If new monitors with a screen resolution of 4К are used, it is recommended
If using 4К resolution monitors, make sure that the graphics chip
