Is it possible to run Catia V5-R15 on 64bit

[Smokin]

Like the title states, has anyone run V5-R15 on a 64 bit AMD or Intel?

Any problems or real advantages?

Looking to upgrade some hardware here.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have installed R14 on an XP_64 laptop with no problem so I guess R15 would run on it as well.

No noticable advantage going to 64bit though however getting the drivers for XP_64 was a pain. Still looking for the WLAN and modem

I'd not suggest going to 64 bit yet, stick to normal windows, we had problems with some other programs not installing (XP 64 can only process 64 bit and 32 bit data, where as XP 32bit and process only 32 and 16 bit processes). Unfortunatley there are loads for installer programs that are 16 bit, so although the program should run ok, it's not possible to install.

I noticed that with r15 (and 14.5, for that matter) I'm able to get a single CATIA session to use 3GB of physical memory if I'm on Windows XPx64. I topped out at about 2.5GB on Windows XP.

Thank you Darren,

This is what I was looking for, someone that has done it.


I understand the upcoming V5-R16 or 18 will run 64 bit natively according to Catia.

I just wanted to get a heads up on the hardware as our system is getting quite bogged down.


Have a great holiday season.

R15 in 64 bit only on AIX. And only in DMU, FEA, and Drafting workbenches. And VB won't work in 64 bit. And VPM won't either.

It will use tremendous amounts of memory (we tried it with 8GB). We were able to load an entire aircraft (~18K parts), but the number of triangles made the graphics card the new issue.

R16 is supposed to be 64 bit on windows and all workbenches. Don't know yet about any restrictions, however.

Natively, yes, but there are the AMD x86-64 extensions built into r15 and sp5+ of r14 (allowing a little more memory).

That's news to me! Cool. It's still limited to those workbenches, however.

You generally seem to be in-the-know sooner than I am, so I may have been misinformed. However, I did witness the above mentioned memory improvements.

Crap... I made a mistake. It's 15.5+ and 16.GA+.
