Technical Requirements

Mathematical modelling of physical phenomena belongs to the class of the resource-intensive problems that require serious computational resources. That is why, for efficient use of the finite element modelling system it is recommended to use the most powerful computers accessible to the user. Moreover, increase in the dimensionality of the solved problem can be achieved by using 64-bit operating systems.

AutoFEM is available in two versions depending on the edition of the Windows operating system:

1.AutoFEM for Windows 32-bit («standard» Windows, for example, for computers Pentium III or IV). The distinctive feature of the 32-bit operating systems is the existence of  «physical» bound on the maximum volume of addressed information (about 2 GB), which limits capabilities needed for analysis of systems with large number of finite elements.

2.AutoFEM for Windows 64-bit (Windows XP 64-bit, Windows Vista 64-bit and etc.). This system works on the processors that support 64-bit instructions. Operating systems with digit capacity 64-bit allow the software to address significantly larger volumes of information and solve the problems of higher dimensionality.
