Like many software developers, ANSYS provides a list of system requirements to ensure your hardware is compatible and performs well with their software. This guide offers a simplified Q&A based on ANSYS's recommendations and additional insights from our consultants.
ANSYS benefits from a moderate number of CPU cores. While ANSYS lists a minimum of 4 cores, having 8 to 16 cores is ideal for optimal performance. For top performance, the Intel Core i9 13900K is an excellent choice. It features 8 high-performance cores with top-tier clock speeds and 16 efficiency cores for multitasking. The newer Intel i9 14900K is also highly capable, though it may not be available in all compact workstations.
Our workstations for ANSYS are rigorously tested and optimized to deliver superior performance and reliability, with configurations designed for both CPU- and GPU-based simulations.
