on this platform |
Processor |
X86-321 |
| OS Level2 |
• Windows XP Professional SP2
• Windows Server 2003
• Windows Vista3 |
Notes:
1 The minimum processor required is equivalent to Intel Pentium 4 or AMD processors supporting SSE2 instruction set.
2 For Abaqus 6.8 Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 runtime libraries are required to run Geometry Translators and CAD Interfaces with Abaqus/CAE on Windows/x86-32. For more information see Answer 3605 in the SIMULIA Online Support System. For Abaqus 6.8-EF the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 32-bit runtime libraries are required to run Abaqus.
3 Although some Vista editions have not undergone formal qualification testing, Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions are all considered compatible with Abaqus V6.8 and are supported. See the Test Configurations web page for tested Vista editions. |
