I want to know whether 16 GB Ram required or 8 GB is sufficient. or do I really need graphic card like Nvidia. please suggest me.
The memory you need would depend on how large the structure you are simulating. However 8 GB is likely not sufficient.
Hi
CPU: CORE i5 or i7 (Core i7 is much better)
GRAPHIC CARDS: 2GB and more
RAM: 8GB and more ( it depends to your structure that you want to design, if your structure is microstrip antenna or FSS structure and such as this, 8GB RAM is sufficient, but if you want to design array antenna or reflector antenna or reflectarray antenna and the structures similar to these structures you need RAM more than 8GB).
Regards,
1. Try to procure best laptop which can run for next 10 years (no need to change processor/mother board etc.)
2.Local support is important. Try to procure one laptop whose local support can easily be found.
3. RAM: Maximum within your budget ( 8/16/32 GB or more)
As per my experience, HFSS is more hard on the RAM, so the more, the better.
In contrast, CST is more hard on the processing.
Hello,
You can go any size of RAM 8/16/32 GB, but important thing is your frequency that is being used to simulate the structure to get desired results. If it is very high, then time taken by software may be very high or possible, that it will not run. Go for any configuration, given above by the professors.
Thanks,
Hi, Bharath Reddy Gudibandi
For fast simulation speed of HFSS. 8/16 GB ram and i5 10 gen / i7 processor you can use. If your budget is more you can go for server edition.
If you are into extensive simulations, large/complex structures, laptop will not benefit you. I would recommend a Desktop Computer, even 8GB RAM in PC is better than 16GB in laptop. Otherwise, if mobility is major concern then dear colleagues have already shared laptop configurations.
CPU: Processor is not much important, but clock speed should be high, like 2.5 GHz or above.
GRAPHIC CARDS: a minimum graphics card is good.
RAM: 8GB/16GB/32GB. This is the most important thing. Try to avail as much as possible.
Durability : Long lasting.

As suggested by Nitin Ji, better if you can have desktop computer with 8GB or 16GB RAM and i5 or i7 processor.
If you want portability then go for 16GB RAM and i5 or i7 processor.
Very critical for Meshing operation is the size of Memory. If the sizes of your antennas will not more than 10 cm will be enough 32 GB of Memory. I use such configuration. Because with 8 GB, I had crashed HFSS calculation on the phase of Meshing of some antennas designs.
Hi,
I think it will better 16 GB RAM with i7 configuration. The mesh size is large, such as SIW antenna and filter, then it will be required 32 GB RAM PC.
Minimum RAM requirement is 8 GB as specified by Ansys. A dedicated graphics card is desirable.
