From the beginning" computer caracteristics"
 

please tel me What is the minimum characteristics of the computer that can run the fluent and make huge calculation in a short time thanks in advance

Re: From the beginning" computer caracteristics"
 

it depends on of your problem. Maybe , 1 million of elements needs 1 Gb of memory ram, but it´s just for simple problems!

Hi,

Check the ANSYS webpage for hardware specifications. Also this is a CFX forum, not fluent. Not many fluent experts here.

computation of a turbulent flow in a two-dimensional curved conduct what the capacity of computer necessary is there a portable micro that can done this computation

Hi,

We'll need a lot more details than that before we can estimate. Even so, it is likely a modern laptop (I assume that is what you mean) will be OK as long as it is not too complicated.

thank you Glenn for your response, i need more explanation the lapdop have several characteristics (processor, RAM, hard disc, and finally the kind ( sumsong, tochiba, ibiem,..)that can handle calculations that last for hours. I am illiterate in this domain and the computer that I have is not powerful, if you work with the fluid mechanics software currents you can advise me what type of lapdop I need

Hi,

As fast a CPU and possible, at least 2GB ram and preferably lots more. A machine of this specification will run small jobs OK but won't be able to do anything complicated. It is also not very suitable for clustering so it does not have much capability to scale to larger jobs.

Laptops are not good machines for CFD, even a moderate desktop PC is better. Unless you REALLY need the portability of a laptop I would get a desktop.

One last thing Glenn
 

hello thank you for that clarification, I want to know what you think about the characteristics of this computer that they offered me and it is expensive "2 * 2GB RAM, 800 MHz DDR2 CORSAIR-DD: 250GO SATA II VENTILO ZALMAN CNPS 8000 - CPU: CORE2 DUO E8400 XFX 9600GT VGA-512MO DDR3-FOOD 600W COOLERMASTER

Hi,

The Intel E8400 CPUs are very good. Pretty cheap and very fast. Not much memory, that may or may not be a problem depending on the models you are going to run. Looks OK to me.
