catia on linux
(OP)
Someone wrote that MS and D'Assault are deeply linked and I wonder, how deeply, how do you know? Can you prove it? Simple reason Catia won't be released for linux: This would create competition for windows in the CAD market, and they can't have that. People are running it under wine, so there is proof that there is interest. Isn't this proof of collusion between the two companies, monopoly abuse, and therefore illegal?
I have an HP xw4600 with 8 GB ram. UGNX runs on it under linux. Xp can't see the extra 4 GB ram. So it only makes sense to run it as an NX only box for now. Too bad for D'assault.

I found some information that HP XW 4600 has a 64Bit processor. So you should switch to 64 bit...

While CATIA V4 was developed on Unix, CATIA V5 was developed on Windows. It runs best on windows. CATIA V5 running on a Unix platform is actually running under an "emulator". Actually, there is a "wrapper" around the CATIA kernal that intercepts Windows calls and translates them to the appropriate unix call for that flavor of unix. This, by definition, makes CATIA slower. You may not see this, because you would need to look at other factors such as compute speed, etc.
The primary reason that they have not ported CATIA to Linux is that no (major) customer has stated "I will not purchase CATIA unless it runs on Linux". While they may prefer Linux, they won't refuse it on Windows. The Microsoft connection may be strong, but if they saw serious money behind a Linux port, they would do it.
CATIA running on a 64 bit processor and a 64 bit OS (XP 64) WILL use more than 4gb of RAM quite nicely.
And PS, it's not D'Assault. It's Dassault Systemes (accent grave on the second e).

If you can find something to the contrary, I'd be happy to hear about it.

we don't want to run the interactive portion on Linux, we just want to perform the actual analysis on Linux. :(
