Summary
This section outlines the general operating system and hardware requirements that allows OREPro™ 3D application run smoothly. Some of these requirements are broken down into minimum requirement and recommended. Recommended requirements provide a better user experience, especially when working with larger files, complex graphics, etc.
This article on OREPro™ 3D system and network requirements is also available on OREPro™ 3D support page here.
Recommended requirements to operate:
1. Operating System Requirements
The operating system must be compatible with the software. Using an unsupported or outdated operating system can cause installation issues, potential crash, or slower performance.
- Windows 10 and 11 (64-Bit)
- OREPro™ 3D does not support Linux or macOS
2. Storage Space
- Recommended: 20 GB free storage space is recommended for OREPro™ 3D.
3. CPU
The processor (CPU), affects how quickly the software can process data, run calculations, or system responsiveness to user actions.
- Recommended: The Intel Core i9 at 2.6 GHz+ or similar alternative is highly recommended
4. GPU
OREPro™ 3D heavily relies on the graphics card, due to its features such as displaying 3D models, blast simulation, visual layers, generating visual outputs including Solids, etc.
- Recommended:
-
A dedicated graphics card is preferred for large graphical datasets and 3D visualization. Our recommendation is a GPU with at least 4 GB of dedicated VRAM and it must support Open GL 4.6. For larger files or complex models in OREPro™ 3D, a 6 to 8 GB VRAM or higher is preferred.
Examples:
NVIDA RTX A2000
NVIDA RTX Ada
5. RAM
Memory (RAM), is one of the most important items for smooth performance. It allows for proper background processes and handling of active tasks. The lower RAM can cause slower performance, freeze, potential hard crash, etc.
- Recommended: 16 GB
6. Display Resolution
- 1920 X 1080
7. Network and Internet Requirements
- For OREPro™ 3D Predict (Physics Simulation), stable network with 1MB/s upload and download capability
- Required firewall or proxy permissions
8. User Permission Level
- The user must have the correct permission to install, run, and update software. Please check with your Internal IT for the specific requirements.
9. Other Dependencies
- It is highly recommended to have more frequent and high quality topography files (with precision of 1 m or less) .
