Minimum RAM Requirements for ENOVIA Server Products
The following table lists the minimum RAM requirements for each product on each supported platform.

Supported Platforms for V6R2010x DS License Server
In addition to the operating systems listed above, DS License Server is also supported on the following
platforms :
Windows XP Professional x86-32 SP3
Windows XP Professional x86-64 SP2
Windows Vista x86-32 SP1 Enterprise or Business Edition
Windows Vista x86-64 SP1 Enterprise or Business Edition

Additional Notes
All application servers and JDK versions must be 32-bit
MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.1 version is also required on all clients. For RHEL, unixODBC must
be installed.
SQL Server 2008 requires native client version 10.0 32-bit

Notes about WebSphere
If it is planned to deploy ENOVIA server on IBM WebSphere Application Server, then the detailed
prerequisites are:
IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.5
For a deployment against an IBM WebSphere Application Server, the JDK which needs to be
provided to the ENOVIA installation is the same as the one needed for Apache Tomcat on the
targeted operating system (IBM Java 6 on AIX, Sun Java 6 on other operating systems, see Tomcat’s
JDK definition for detailed version and fix level). The JDK embedded in WebSphere Application
Server is solely used by this application server, it must not be used to run ENOVIA applications other
than the ones deployed in WebSphere Application Server.

Notes about Java
TheThe Java prerequisites given in this page follow vendor'
s version naming conventions (SUN
Java 6 update 14, IBM Java 6 SR5); it must not be mistaken for the "internal" version returned by
'
java -version'command convention, which looks like "1.6.0_14".

ENOVIA Rich Client Software Requirements

Windows XP 32-bit Operating System
Windows XP delivers an implementation of OpenGL libraries. Dassault Systemes provides
recommendations related to driver levels based on certified configurations at URL:
http://www.3ds.com/support/hardware-certification/windows-certified-workstations/ .
These drivers may offer a CATIA / DELMIA / ENOVIA / SIMULIA / 3DLive Version 6 application setting
(see Control Panel, Display Properties tabs), which should be selected when available, as they may
contain application specific features.
11

Windows XP 64-bit Operating System
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition with SP2, with following components:
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition delivers an implementation of OpenGL libraries. Dassault
Systemes provides recommendations related to driver levels based on certified configurations at
URL: http://www.3ds.com/support/hardware-certification/windows-certified-workstations/ .
These drivers may offer a CATIA / DELMIA / ENOVIA / SIMULIA /3DLive Version 6 application
setting (see Control Panel, Display Properties tabs), which should be selected when available, as
they may contain application specific features.
The following patch is recommended : KB 973460. It will ease crash problem determination by
retrieving correct stack information :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973460/en-us/
•

Note : For a 64-bit process, memory consumption is completely different than for a 32-bit process.
In this conditions, it is not pertinent to compare the "Virtual Bytes" counter of Perfmon between
32-bit process and 64-bit process. Although this counter is important to track for a 32-bit process
because the global address space is limited to 4 GB including reserved virtual memory, for 64-bit
process, virtual address space can reach 8 TB.

Windows Vista SP1 64-bit or 32 bits Operating System
Windows Vista SP1 x64 or 32 bits Edition, with following components:
Windows delivers an implementation of OpenGL libraries. Dassault Systemes will provide
recommendations related to driver levels based on certified configurations at URL:
http://www.3ds.com/support/hardware-certification/windows-certified-workstations/
These drivers may offer a CATIA / DELMIA / ENOVIA / SIMULIA / 3DLive Version 6
application setting (see Control Panel, Display Properties tabs), which should be selected
when available, as they may contain application specific features.

Notes about Java
1. The Java prerequisites given in this page follow vendor'
s version naming conventions (SUN Java
6 update 14); it must not be mistaken for the "internal" version returned by '
java -version'
command convention, which looks like "1.6.0_14".
2. A Java Run-time Environment (JRE) is required on client side if it is planned to use the Single
Sign-On mode with the default Credentials Manager login solution.
3. On 64-bit Windows, if Lotus Instant Messaging is to be used, the 32-bit version of SUN JRE is
needed. If the Credentials Manager is to be used, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the SUN JRE
must be installed on the machine. During client installation, the path of the 64-bit version must be
typed.
The Collaboration-specific set up instructions must be followed to give the path of the 32-bit JRE
for Collaboration.

12

Notes about XML
1. On Windows, detailed information on MSXML 6 Service Pack 1 (KB954459), Product Version :
6.20.1099.0 can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954459. The dll itself can be
downloaded at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-069.mspx
2. Using an MSXML 6.0 service pack including KB941180 is accepted and even recommended.

CATIA / DELMIA / SIMULIA
Hardware Requirements
The following requirements are common to all operating systems supported by CATIA, DELMIA and
SIMULIA Version 6 unless otherwise specified.
The following requirements are common to all operating systems supported by CATIA Version 6 unless
otherwise specified.
Disk drive:
disk drive (minimum recommended free size is 4 GB) is required to store program executables
(installation of all CATIA Version 6 Products requires 2.0 GB on Windows), program data, usage
environment and paging space.
Removable storage: a CD-ROM drive is required for program installation.
Network Adapter:
an active Ethernet adapter is required for licensing purposes.
System Unit:
workstation with x86 Intel or AMD Processors. Refer to the Dassault Systemes website :
http://www.3ds.com/support/hardware-certification/windows-certified-workstations/ to see the list
of certified configurations
Memory:
For Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition SP2 :1GB of RAM is the minimum recommended
amount of memory for all applications.
For Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition or Microsoft Windows Vista Enterprise Edition : 2
GB of RAM is the minimum recommended amount of memory for all applications ;
For Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP2, Microsoft Windows Vista Business 64bit Edition or Microsoft Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit Edition : 4 GB of RAM is the minimum
recommended amount of memory for all applications ;
Requirements may be greater when large amount of data are used.
Keyboard:
a specific keyboard compatible with selected installation locale may be required for national
language support.
Display:
A graphic color display compatible with the selected platform-specific graphic adapter. The
minimum recommended size for usability reasons is 17 inches. Minimum resolution for Windows
workstations is 1280x1024.
Graphic Adapter:
A graphic adapter with 3D OpenGL accelerator is required. OpenGL 2.1 is required for Shader
capabilities (Vertex shader & Pixel shader).
Note that graphic performance on local transformations (panning, zooming, rotating model) will
depend on the selected graphic adapter. When selecting a graphic adapter, hardware texturing
capability is strongly recommended when using CATIA Version 6 products that use texture
mapping, in which case the amount of RAM has to be adequate for the number and complexity of
textures to be used.
The graphic adapter should have the following capabilities:
• 32 bits, true color, double buffered visual
• minimum video memory is 128 MB but it is recommended to have 512 MB
• 24 bits Z-buffer
• 8-bit Stencil buffer
Pointing device:
3-button mouse. On Windows workstations, a 2-button mouse may alternatively be used (the
third button is emulated with a keyboard sequence). The 3 button mouse is recommended for
usability reasons. IntelliMouse (two buttons plus wheel) is an alternative to the three-button
mouse on Windows workstations, the wheel acting as the middle button and allowing additional
manipulations such as panning and scrolling.
Optional components and features:
16

SpaceTraveller, SpaceNavigator, SpaceExplorer, SpaceBall, SpaceMouse from 3DConnexion
can be used, in addition to the mouse, to perform graphic manipulations (zoom, pan, rotate, etc.);
necessary drivers are delivered with the device. Those devices can be used in CATIAV6,
SIMULIA V6, DELMIA V6, ENOVIA 3D Live, XML Player, 3DVIA Shape (next) Products.
The robustness of the overall solution is dependent on the robustness of the operating system and the
hardware environment used. Windows hardware configurations certified by Dassault Systemes for
running CATIA, DELMIA or SIMULIA Version 6 products are published at
http://www.3ds.com/support/workstations-peripherals

SIMULIA – Abaqus Simulation Engine requirements
The hardware and software requirements for CATIA client V6R2010x are also sufficient for the SIMULIA
products (no additional requirements) with the exception of the Abaqus Simulation Engine (AQE) product.
Abaqus Simulation Engine (AQE) requirements:
The following hardware and software are required to install SIMULIA Abaqus Simulation Engine
(AQE) on a remote server cluster:
•
•

Windows 64
o SMP: Server 2008
o DMP: HPC Server 2008
Linux 64
o SMP and DMP: RedHat 5.2 or SLES 10.2

Virtualization
PLM V6R2010x products will operate in virtual environments (ie VMWare), with the exception of the DS
License server.

IBM Power Series 6 support
For QA testing purposes, IBM PowerVM technologies were used to enable resource sharing &
virtualization. A Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) for sharing physical resources between LPARs including virtual
SCSI and virtual networking. Shared processor LPARs were defined to host the AIX and VIOS LPARs.
The use of the virtualization technology was used for testing purpose and is not mandatory, as
implementing a Power Systems server with all hardware resources assigned to a single LPAR running
AIX is also a supported system environment. Each LPAR is assigned a unique system identifier ("target
id") as required by the DSLS (Dassault Systemes Licensing Server) required for any license enrollment.

27

Certified Platforms
Certified Hardware for Workstations

Specific hardware configurations are Certified for each version/release of PLM products.
Certified configurations have undergone manual and automated testing of a full set of tests and
scenarios for a given platform, which includes the hardware, operating system, runtime libraries,
database, etc. The Certified hardware configuration may specify items like processor and clock
speed, graphics adapters, etc. A hardware configuration is Certified for the life cycle of the
release.
The certified hardware configurations for Windows and Unix can be found at the following URL:
#

!

"! ###

Derived Configurations

In addition to certified configurations, configurations indicated as Derived workstations are also
supported. Although they may not have been specifically tested they are considered derived from
certified configurations. Derived configurations may include items like different clock speed,
different cache size, different network subsystem, etc., where the main subsystems remain
unchanged (chipset and graphic adapter).
PLM products might run on other configurations which have not been certified or derived,
but if a reported problem is determined to be specific to or caused by configuration which
is neither certified or derived, support will end at that point.
