Disk space requirements

Installation disk space requirements

The table below outlines the recommended disk space allocation for installing Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight and optional companion products.

Software installed Installed size on disk (approximate)
Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Synergy - User Interface 2.3 GB
Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight - Solvers 622 MB
Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Communicator 1.0 GB
Note: During the installation process you will require approximately twice the amount of disk space as specified above.

Project directory disk space requirements

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

Disk space requirements for typical studies
Analysis sequence Analysis technology Disk space required in temporary directory (approx.)
Fill+Pack (20,000 element model) Midplane 500 MB
Fill+Pack+Cool (BEM) Midplane 700 MB
Fill+Pack+Cool (BEM) +Warp Midplane 900 MB
Fill+Pack (20,000 element model) Dual Domain 500 MB
Fill+Pack+Cool (FEM) (20,000 element model) Dual Domain 1.5 GB
Fill+Pack (300,000 tetrahedra model) 3D 1 GB
Fill+Pack+Cool (FEM) (300,000 tetrahedra model) 3D 2 GB
Fill+Pack+Cool (BEM) (300,000 tetrahedra model) 3D 10 GB1
1 All 3D Cool (BEM) analyses have high disk space requirements for the temporary directory.
