HVE users tend to study complicated vehicle dynamics issues and work with highly detailed environment models as part of their regular routine. For the best performance in both graphics rendering and calculation performance, we suggest that a high end desktop or notebook be used for HVE.

Configuration:

• Intel Pentium 4 or Intel Dual-Core Core 2 Duo or similar Processor
• 1 GB RAM (recommended - the more the better!)
• 128 MB OpenGL compatible graphics card (NVIDIA is recommended)
• 17" or 20" desktop monitor preferred (for notebook computer, 15" or larger)
• 3-button mouse

Operating System:

• HVE is fully compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. (If installating on Windows Vista or Windows 7 computers, you should not install under the main Program Files directory, as that directory has strict permissions on use of files within that folder location. The installer defaults to a location on your main drive.)

Example: Dell 390 Workstation with Dual-Core Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro graphics card and Windows XP operating system

*If you have any questions regarding a specific make or model of computer or graphics card, please contact EDC Customer Service directly.
