CATBench question for

[fighterpilot]

I'm running CATBench in order to give a relative comparison between 2 Dell systems I have here. I'm doing this testing in the V5R14SP1HF9 version of Catia. This is the only version I have available to me. I understand that CATBench may not be optimized for this version but it should allow me to compare these 2 systems to each other accurately.

In the graphics benchmark testing there is dialog that comes up after entering c:TestVisuPerfoDraw in the Powerbar. However, this dialog no longer reports frame rate in milliseconds. All that is reported is a visualization time but no units are noted. I assume its in milliseconds. Am I safe to assume since I entered in 100 for the repeat parameter that the visualization time is for those 100 frames? Dividing by 100 is then the ms/frame value which is entered into the spreadsheet? If I use this logic, my numbers look radically different from those of other systems.

Is there someone out there who can give me some information on this?

Thanks....

I noticed that they took away the frame rate count in r14 (maybe it was 13... I haven't tried it), but I imagine the code isn't dramatically different. Your methodology seems sound given my understanding.


Try the SPEC benchmark (

You might ask Phil. He hangs out on the COE Forum at

Phil Harrison did respond w/ the following:

The visualization time is still ms/frame, it is independant of the number of frames.

c:TestVisuPerfoDraw is fine to compare systems, no matter what the release.
