Minimum or best hardware config for Microstation and OpenPlant Modeler under Project Wise

Dear colleagues,

when we updated to

Open Plant Modeler CONNECT Edition Update 8 – Version 10.08.00.51  and

Microstation CONNECT Version 14.010.014.002.0001.00.6 and Update 15 Version 10.15.0074  managed in

Project Wise Version 10.00.03.280

we encountered a significant slow down in the behaviour of our systems. We run the software e.g. on HP ZBooks with i7 CPUs 2.7 GHz and 16 GB RAM which seem to be too weak for that application. Our projects consist often of upto 200 models, 10% having more than 100 MB per model, rest around less than 2 MB per model. Many performance problems (blocking and freezing) occur when we handle converted models from customers or suppliers, mostly generated from .stp files.

With what hardware config. did you make your best performance experience and what would you regard as the minimum acceptable hardware to work in a fluent manner and have still enough hardware ressources to present the content of a.m. totality  200 models through OP Modeler and Microstation  also in online meetings via MS Teams? Do you use out-of-the-box software configurations or did you have your config files customized?

To Admin / Mod: Maybe this topic should be connected to a Modeler forum also, pls. connect / shift, if necessary.

Best regards

Thomas
