Aspen Hysys System Requirements Updated

| Platform | Support Level | Notes | |----------|---------------|-------| | | Fully supported | Requires 3D acceleration enabled. Assign at least 4 vCPUs and 16 GB RAM. | | Microsoft Hyper-V | Supported | Use Discrete Device Assignment (DDA) for GPU if needed. | | Citrix XenDesktop / VDI | Supported (limited) | For remote desktop only – no solver acceleration. | | Azure Virtual Desktop | Community-supported | Use NV-series VMs (NVIDIA M60 GPU) for PFD rendering. | | AWS (EC2) | Community-supported | Recommended instance: c5.4xlarge (16 vCPU, 32 GB) or g4dn.xlarge for GPU. | | Parallels Desktop (Mac) | Not supported | Works for light models but thermodynamic server may crash. |

: Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit). Linux and macOS are not natively supported and typically require a virtual machine.

A 64-bit Windows system with 8 GB or more RAM and a fast processor is the baseline for handling such complexity. Aspen Hysys System Requirements

By meeting or exceeding these specifications, you will ensure rapid convergence times, seamless multitasking, and a stable environment for your chemical process simulations. To help tailor this, please let me know:

: Using a preconfigured Windows Virtual Machine can simplify setup on non-Windows hardware, such as Mac, provided the host has sufficient RAM and CPU power. | Platform | Support Level | Notes |

Using a Solid State Drive (SSD) is highly recommended to improve file loading and database access speeds. Display:

: Using an SSD (Solid State Drive) instead of a traditional HDD is highly recommended to significantly reduce loading times for complex thermodynamic models. | | Citrix XenDesktop / VDI | Supported
