Mechanical APDL is supported on many different computers. Memory size, run time, and cost will vary from computer to computer. The test cases in this document are small enough to require only a minimum memory size.

The test cases generally require a very short run time each, although some are somewhat larger and longer running to allow the inclusion of meaningful tests for some of the more advanced capabilities included in Mechanical APDL.

The benchmark test cases in Description of the Benchmark Studies are small to moderately-sized tests as well, but the run time for these is very dependent on the parameters chosen for the specific test.
