Workstation Requirements
Minimum System Resources:
2.8 GHz Pentium 4 processor or higher
2 GB RAM
100 BaseT network interface
CD-ROM drive access, either locally or through a network connection
21" color monitor (capable of a minimum of 1024 x 768)
Graphics cards designed for 3D intensive applications that meet the following
requirements:
Many of the recent generation video cards provide some level of OpenGL
acceleration. Some manufacturers provide poor OpenGL drivers that can cause
artifacts. Testing has shown that NVIDIA provides good drivers for its Geforce2 and
beyond Graphics Processing Units (GPU). ATI GPU-based and Matrox graphic cards
often seem to have OpenGL problems with their driver GPU combinations. Cards
with double-buffered overlay planes (such as the Wildcat cards) have an advantage
because highlighting can be done without having to do saves and restores, which may
benefit performance in specific cases. In order to obtain better graphic performance
with SmartPlant 3D, make the following setting for ATI, NVIDIA, and 3Dlabs
graphics cards:
Dual screen configurations should have either a single graphics card with
two VGA outputs or two identical graphics cards. The graphics card(s)
should otherwise meet the requirements of the specified graphics card
recommendations.
Use thread safe video drivers and CAD application certified video cards
when using multiple processor systems.
Related Topics
Workstation Installation
In order for drawings that contain embedded Excel reports to display properly, you
must install Service Pack 3 (SP3) and Service Release 1a for Office 2000. You can
download SP3 and SR1a by clicking Start > Windows Update and then selecting
Office Update on the Microsoft Windows Update website.
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Client Tools (with SQL Server 2000 SP3a or higher) is
required only for the client software installation if the Project Management option is
installed; otherwise, they are not integral to the default workstation software
installation.
3
When creating drawing borders or embedded reports within the Drawings and
Reports task on computers with Microsoft Office XP or Office 2003, you must
modify the security settings in Excel to allow Visual Basic projects to run. To change
this setting, open Excel, and select Tools > Macros > Security. On the Trusted
Sources tab, select Trust access to Visual Basic Project. This setting must be
modified before you update drawings and generate the report(s) within it.
Important
Do not skip any restarts recommended by the system. Doing so can have
unintended consequences.
Other users who want to perform different tasks in the overall plant design workflow
might need additional software, such as Visual Basic 6.0 and Unigraphics Solid Edge
Version 16. Additionally, if you intend to reference or export PDS projects, you
must install the appropriate PDS add-in. The PDS data reference and export add-ins
are delivered in PDS version-specific folders on the product CD.
Note
PDS software and all of its prerequisite software are also required in order
to use the PDS integration functionality.
