Prerequisite for this Release - Products

The prerequisites for this Gateway release are as follows:

• .Net Framework 4.8

• Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2019 (64-bit)

• Disk Space – When the Gateway processes large models it requires disk space to store temporary graphics files. For example, to create a 7 GB ZGL it requires 100 GB of temporary space. Processing times will also be extended if the server isn’t using a Solid-State Drive. Note that the size of the ZGL must be < 9 GB when using 3DVS in AIM.

• RAM - Huge input files may take significant time to process if the memory required by the Gateway process nears the limit of the RAM, as the Windows system will then start memory paging. For example:

  • Input NWD files up to 500 MB will require 32 GB of RAM and NWD files above 500 MB will require 64 GB RAM

  • Input IFC files up to 4 GB will require 64 GB RAM

    Therefore, if you expect to be processing such large files you should ensure the Gateway server has enough RAM to avoid memory paging.

    Note: Neither the AVEVA Licensing System nor LaaS are required for this version.
