Disk space requirements

Installation disk space requirements

The table below outlines the recommended disk space allocation for installing the software and optional companion products.
Table 1. Installation disk space requirements
Software installed Full installation
Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Adviser only 700 MB
Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Adviser with CAD integration 750 MB
Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Design Link 700 MB
Autodesk Inventor Fusion 680 MB
Note: During the installation process, you will need approximately double the disk space specified above.

Project directory disk space requirements

The disk space requirement for a study depends on the analysis sequence and the size of the model. A 3D Cool or 3D Warp analysis, of a large, complex model, could require up to 10 GB of disk space in the project directory.

Table 2. Disk space requirements for typical studies
Analysis sequence Analysis technology Disk space required in the project directory (approximate)
Fill+Pack (20,000 element model) Dual Domain 500 MB
Fill+Pack (300,000 tetrahedra model) 3D 1 GB
Fill+Pack+Cool 3D 10 GB 1
1 All 3D Cool analyses have high disk space requirements for the temporary directory.
