* For Windows
and Linux users, ALGOR recommends use of the 64-bit version of the operating system to run
large models of any analysis type and for Mechanical Event Simulation, CFD and Multiphysics
analyses. While a 32-bit machine can be configured for larger system memory sizes, architectural issues of the operating system limit the benefit of
the additional memory.
** These requirements are due to the use of
multimedia in our product line and the availability of distance learning Webcasts and Web Courses.
