CATIA Operating System Requirements

This document is provided as a guideline regarding hardware configurations, operating system and operating system patches recommended for the use with CATIA Version 5 Release 15.

All Platforms

Recommended Memory

256 MB or RAM is the minimum recommended amount of memory for all applications. 512 MB of RAM is recommended for DMU applications on large assemblies, and for the Digitized Shape Editor 2 product. Requirements may be greater when large amount of data are used.

Windows 2000 / Windows XP

Operating System

Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4, or higher is required, or Windows XP Professional, with following components:
- Windows 2000, and Windows XP deliver an implementation of OpenGL libraries. Dassault Systemes will provide recommendations related to driver levels based on certified configurations at URL: http://www.catia.com/your_catia/html/hwnt2.htm. These drivers may offer a CATIA Version 5 application setting (see Control Panel, Display Properties tabs), which should be selected when available, as they may contain application specific features.
- Localized version of the operating system may be required when selected installation locale differs from Latin1

Certified configurations

Complete list of certified configuration is available at URL : http://www.catia.com/your_catia/html/hwnt2.htm.

Note that configurations are certified with Windows 2000 or Windows XP : they are explicitly marked as such in the list of certified configuration.
