Installation
Software Requirements
The current release is a native Matlab application, requiring the latest Matlab Runtime installed on the machine (24.2). The runtime can be downloaded free of charge at this link.
Supported OS: Windows 10/11
Hardware Requirements
Twin Fabrica is a suite of computationally intensive mathematical libraries. It includes tools for large-scale finite element model solvers, model order reduction techniques, stochastic optimization, and neural network training.
Minimum Hardware Requirements:
- Intel Core i7 (8th Gen)
- 32 GB RAM
Recommended for Full Performance (Parallelization & GPU Acceleration):
- Intel Core i7/i9 (14th Gen) or Intel Xeon
- 48 GB RAM
- NVIDIA RTX 4070 GPU
⚠️ For handling large-scale full-order models (10M+ nodes), additional RAM is required—potentially 128 GB or more depending on the problem size.
