Ansys Motor-CAD Virtual Desktop

Ansys Motor-CAD is supported on Windows virtual desktops.

Follow the instructions in Creating a Virtual Desktop in the Administration Guide.

When creating the virtual desktop, use the following guidelines:

• Operating system: Windows

• Applications: Ansys Motor-CAD

  Once selected, specify its configuration settings:

  

  For information on application licensing, see Managing Application Licenses in the Administration Guide.

  Note: Ansys recommends that you create the virtual desktop without any applications, and then add the application after the virtual desktop has been created. See Adding Applications to a Virtual Machine in the User's Guide. Sometimes, Windows updates are triggered on newly created virtual machines, causing application installation to fail.

• Hardware. An instance type with 12-16 physical cores and 8 GB memory is recommended. (The minimum requirement for Motor-CAD is 1 core and 2 GB memory.)

When the resource is in the Running state and the Connect button is displayed, you can connect to the virtual desktop. See Launching a Virtual Desktop Session in the User's Guide.
