System Requirements

February 3, 2005, 07:26

I am just starting to look into OpenFOAM. Now I wonder what are the minimum system requirements concerning memory, hard disk space and CPU speed.
While it is probably all dependent on the problems one is interested in, are there some minimum values that allow comfortable working with OpenFOAM?

Thank you very much

Hi,
Until quite recently I used a laptop with a 500 MHz Celeron, 258MB RAM, 10GB harddisk and that worked without any problem, although a bit slow.
