Minimum Profile
The minimum recommended workstation profile for running STAAD Foundation Advanced CONNECT Edition is:
| Processor | Intel® or AMD® processor 1.0 GHz or greater. |
| Memory | 1 GB minimum, 2 GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models. |
| Hard Disk | 20 GB free disk space (which includes the 12 GB install footprint for a complete installation) |
| Video | Graphics card supported by OpenGL and Vector Draw. See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on graphics drivers. 256 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by OpenGL and Vector Draw can be found, the application will attempt to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted. A minimum screen resolution of 1280x1024 is required, but higher is recommended. |
| Screen Resolution | 1280 × 1024 or higher. |
