Dear Experts,

I am looking for personal PC for my PhD to use at home. I am looking forward to able to run meshing smoothly. Does anyone knows what is the requirement for smooth operation? I trying to figure if I can get ANSYS Fluent software from university.

My mesh is expected to be 2M to 4M and Maximum of perhaps 40M.

I figure out that RAM could probably need 16GB. I always having issue when using ICEM meshing where the meshing gets slower. Hope someone can help me with the spec

I aim for
i7 Quad Core - Hexa Core(6)
16Gb ram - 32 Gb (Ideally)
256 GB SSD
1TB HD
Graphic card(not quite important)

My simulation can be run on HPC at university. This means I need to transfer the file there. However, the issues I hate the most is meshing speed.

Other software I might be using:
MATLAB
High speed camera software
CAD Modelling (for reading files and do some minor design)
Gaming (Not frequent)
Latex
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Presentation
Etc

Thanks

Kind Regards,
J
