System Requirements

Operating System Requirements

Coreform Cubit is distributed as a 64-bit (x86_64) build for Windows and Linux.

Windows: Windows 11.

Linux: any glibc-based distribution with glibc 2.28 or newer. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Rocky Linux / RHEL / AlmaLinux 8 and newer
• Ubuntu 20.04 and newer
• Debian 10 (Buster) and newer
• SUSE Linux Enterprise / openSUSE Leap 15.x
• Fedora 29 and newer

To check the glibc version on a Linux host, run ldd --version.

Coreform Cubit's continuous-integration acceptance tests run on Windows 11, Ubuntu 22.04, Rocky Linux 8, and Rocky Linux 9. Other platforms meeting the requirements above are not formally tested. Please email support@coreform.com with any questions.

The Graphical User Interface version is available on all supported platforms.

For best results, local displays supporting OpenGL 3.2 or newer is recommended.

Hardware Recommendations

Coreform recommends the following minimum hardware specifications:

• 4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended)
• 1 GB disk space
• Graphics card and driver capable of supporting OpenGL 3.2 (A software-based implementation of OpenGL 3.2 is provided as an alternative, but may slow the process.)
• 1280 x 1024 screen resolution

NOTE: More memory and faster processors are recommended for meshes with very large mesh element counts.
