Graphics Adapter

FEFLOW applies the Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) for hardware-based graphics acceleration.
An OpenGL-compliant graphics adapter greatly improves graphics performance when working with 2D and 3D models.

  • Experience has shown that medium-priced graphics adapters of brand manufacturers provides optimal cost-efficiency.
  • The latest graphics driver should be installed to ensure optimal performance and stability.

Memory

  • The actual memory (RAM) requirements depend on the size and type of the models that are to be computed.
  • A 64-bit operating system is recommended on systems with more than 2 GB RAM.

Processor

  • The computational speed increases approximately proportional with the CPU clock rate.
  • FEFLOW supports parallel processing on multi-core / multi-processor machines (shared memory).

Human Interface Devices

  • The usage of a three-buttoned computer mouse is recommended for optimal convenience.
