How to get the best from my Workstation
How to get the best from my Workstation
(OP)
Hello Eng-Tips
I just get an brand new workstation to work with NX 7.5 at my job; this little monster is a HP Z820 workstation with Intel Xeon CPU ES-2609 4C @ 2.40GHz 10MB (2processors), 32GB DDR3-1600 2-CPU RAM, Win7 Enterpise SP1 x64, 2x HDD 2TB SATA 7200 and NVIDIA Quadro 400 2GB GFX Special...is possible that I will never seen anything like this in my life again (unless I Win the lottery if I bought a lot of tickets). What I can do to get a 100% of performace, reduce components loading time, components updating time and the slow motion/rotate a model with thousands of curves, faces and model complexity?
Any idea?
Best Regards

As for getting the maximum performance with large assembly I would review the setting that you'll find in...
Preferences -> Visualization Performance...
Anyway, others may have some advice, but this will get you started. Have fun...

2x Intel Xeon E5-2640 15Mb 2.5Ghz
64Gb DDR3-1600 RAM
2x SSD 256 GB Raid0
1x HDD 2TB data disk
1x Nvidia Quadro 6000 (Never thought my boss would agree on this one:))
Win7 prof 64bit
1x HP ZR30W
1x HP LP3065
NX 7.5 & NX8.5.2.3
I have been using HP workstations all my Unigrahics/NX life and never had a hardware failure. I have no experience with other brands like Dell.
I use NX / NX Nastran, Office, Mathcad on a daily basis.
My HP is a stand-alone WS. I move all part files I work on to the system disks, as these are faster than my data disk.
As far as graphics go: Flawless, except Advanced studio display, ambient shadows enabled (even in single part files). But feel free to ask for any settings.

NX writes a new file everytime you save, then deletes the old one and renames it. Available disk space can be an issue, or a fragmented drive.
