Hardware Requirements
1 GHz or faster processor 1 GB of RAM (2 GB or more recommended) Available hard drive space of 500 MB minimum for installation(1) 1,024x768 display (higher resolution recommended) A 16-bit graphics card with 128 MB compatible with DirectX version 9
If you are using an existing system, then the above guidelines should provide acceptable performance. If the system falls short in memory or graphics, note that most systems with inadequate memory can be easily and inexpensively upgraded. Likewise often graphics cards can also be easily upgraded. If you are buying a new system, we recommend getting one with dual or quad core processors because Simio takes full advantage of multiple processors(2). Most new systems come with adequate graphics cards, but we would recommend a higher than standard screen resolution, perhaps 1920x1200 and perhaps even a second monitor again Simio takes full advantage of higher resolution and multiple monitors(3). Additional memory will allow larger models to run.
(1) Additional prerequisite software packages other than this product may require installation and these other packages may require additional available hard drive space for installation purposes. (2) Multiple scenarios and replications run in the Experiment Window take full advantage of each available processor (e.g. a quad-core processor will execute 4 replications or scenarios simultaneously). (3) Not only can you use a second monitor for displaying help and documentation, but most Simio windows can be undocked and moved to a second screen. For example, you can display the Trace or Dashboard window on the second screen. Or you can simply have the animation span two screens.
Software Requirements
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition with Service Pack 2 (Service Pack 3 or later recommended), Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 or later, or Windows 7. Your system must also be capable of installing .Net Framework Version 4.0 Client Profile.
Step 3 If you have not already installed Simio, you can now install the Simio software itself
by starting setup.exe from the downloaded Simio zip file.
