Hello,

Im looking for informations concerning what specs i need for my computer requirements...

I" ll be using this computer with Solidworks '15 with adds on, ANSYS 15 (Fluent and Mechanical, CFD and FEA), Matlab and Star-CCM+.

I'm gonna be using these softwares to design and do all FEA and CFD analysis on most of the parts of Race cars and engines (f3000, maybe even F1).

Examples of models ill be analysing :

CFD of the whole car including wings, undrlertray with blown diffusers, analysis with simulation of a rolling road underneath the car...

Cfd of intake tract with effects of pressure waves

Etc



So i reckon what i will be analysing are some quite complex models...


So here is my question :

What would be the best setup ? Processor, motherboard, RAM, gtaphics card etc etc For the computer to perform complex assemblies in SLDWKS, and complex analyses in Ansys and Matlab WITHOUT "lagging" or without it being slow as shit...


Thanks , and, i apologize that my post is kind of a "brick" but i know nothing about computers...
