What are the system requirements for running CATIA V5 and CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE?

System requirements for running CATIA V5:

• Operating system:
  • Windows 10 (64-bit): Enterprise or Professional Editions (version 1507 or later).
  • Windows 11 (64-bit): Supported on version 23H2 and certified configurations.
  • IBM AIX: Version 7.1.
• Hardware:
  • Processor: Intel Xeon or AMD equivalent with high single-core performance.
  • RAM: Minimum 4 GB; 8 GB or more recommended for complex assemblies.
  • Graphics Card: OpenGL-compatible GPU, such as NVIDIA Quadro series, with at least 1 GB of dedicated memory.
  • Storage: Minimum 10 GB free disk space; additional space required for projects and modules.
  • Display: Minimum resolution of 1280 x 1024; higher resolutions recommended.
• Licensing requirements:
  • DSLS (Dassault Systèmes License Server)

System requirements for running CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE:

• Operating system:
  • Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit): Certified configurations only.
  • Linux distributions such as RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) are supported for server deployments.
• Hardware:
  • Processor: Intel Xeon W series recommended for complex projects; high core count and multithreading capabilities are beneficial for simulations.
  • RAM:
    • Small projects: 16-32 GB.
    • Medium projects: 32-64 GB (DDR5 preferred for higher bandwidth).
    • Complex projects: 64-128 GB or more.
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX series (e.g., RTX 5000 ADA) with high CUDA core count and at least 32 GB GDDR6 memory for demanding tasks.
  • Storage: SSDs are highly recommended, with at least 100 GB free space for medium deployments and up to 200 GB for large-scale enterprise setups.

Cloud vs. on-premise deployment:

• For cloud-based use, ensure your workstation is certified via Dassault Systèmes’ cloud eligibility tool.
• On-premise setups require validated hardware configurations listed in Dassault Systèmes’ certified hardware directories.
