Setup ProE tips
Setup ProE tips
(OP)
Hi all,
I am a new player of ProE, I am planning to install a copy (Wildfire 2.0) in my PC. I have no idea of what special requirements it takes. I used Solidworks before, & I know fairly well what it requires to get the software running smoothly. e.g. harddrive space, graphics card... etc.
My question is:
Is it practical to install a ProE together with SW under the same roof (same PC?)
I have got a Nvidea card Quadro FX1300, is this enough?
Any other areas I need to be aware of?
Please advise.
Thanks,
engmechs

RE: Setup ProE tips
Yes, provided that there is enough room... Running them at the same time would probably really slow things down (I've had to do it, but only for a few minutes while exporting/importing). If they are installed on the same computer, they won't start fighting each other in the hard disk while you sleep (that would be kind of cool, though).
"I have got a Nvidea card Quadro FX1300, is this enough?"
Yes. NVidia's generally work great with Pro/E.
As for any other requirements, check http://www.ptc.com/WCMS/files/30892/en/proewf2.pdf
Good luck!
RE: Setup ProE tips
Thanks for your info! It is very helpful as I have had some bad experiences in some software installation before. It didn't turn out that good at the end...
I will try it out & the hardware req't spec. is great too. Thanks again.
