    System Requirements

    Connection to internet and e-mail is recommended for
    installation, support and updates.

     

    Operating Systems

    All CGTech software has been extensively tested on
    Windows 10 64-bit OS and Windows 11. Vericut 7.3 was
    the last release to run on Windows 7 32-bit.

     

    Processor

    When considering system requirements, you need to
    consider all the tasks it will be performing.
     1. What is the physical size of the part tobe simulated?
     2. What other software applications will be running concurrently with Vericut?
     3. What requirements will the other applications have (both memory and graphics)?

    Note: Vericut performance is primarily affected by the
    simulation tolerances used and the speed of the CPU’s. The
    faster the CPU speed, the faster your programs will run.
    The length of part programs being simulated does not
    affect Vericut speed. In addition, cut stock refine speed
    and general display performance is highly correlated to the
    number of cores.

    Storage

    Vericut takes up to 8GB of disk space for a full installation
    (full installation includes a library files, samples, training
    sessions, help files, and model interfaces). A large capacity
    hard drive is recommended for Data storage especially if
    storing IP and reviewer files.

    Memory

    The amount of physical memory in your computer will
    affect the number of applications you can run at the same
    time without having physical memory limitations affect
    performance. When running Vericut, the physical size of
    your part, tolerance, program size and features used also
    impact the amount of memory required for the simulation.
    For most Vericut simulations, 16 GB of physical memory is
    sufficient, along with a few other applications running
    concurrently. When the part sizes are substantially larger
    (400” x 100” x 100” or more), or tolerance requirements
    are very high, you may need to increase memory to 32 GB.

    Video

    Make sure you are using up-to-date drivers from your card
    manufacturer. We often see issues that are resolved with
    updated video drivers and the driver version can have a
    great impact on how the card performs. The latest drivers
    for NVIDIA and AMD can be found online.

    Monitor

    The majority of our users utilize dual monitors for
    increased productivity.
    The minimum recommended resolution for the primary
    display is 1920 x 1080. Vericut can be used with lower
    resolution screens but beware that some larger dialogs
    may be not fit entirely in the viewing area.

    Pointing Device 

    Vericut allows users the option to set dynamic controls to
    match the CAD/CAM system
