NOTES

a C Compiler is required only for Mechanica Motion Wildfire 2.0. Fortran compiler is only required if you are running Fortran custom loads with the Structural and Thermal Option Wildfire 2.0

b The command "uname -a" returns HP-UX 11.11.

c Structural and Thermal Option Wildfire 2.0 is not available on the Linux platform. Only Pro/ENGINEER is supported on Linux for the Wildfire 2.0 release.

Graphics Information

For 3D-hardware acceleration, an OpenGL graphics card must be used that has been tested in a PTC-certified configuration. To ensure the compatibility of a graphics driver with Pro/ENGINEER and Structural and Thermal Option Wildfire 2.0, a PTC-certified hardware configuration is recommended.

Dual Monitor Support

Limited dual monitor support is provided in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 on the Windows platform. PTC has successfully performed limited testing of some graphics card models from 3DLabs, ATI and NVIDIA that support dual monitor capabilities. If your graphics card is certified for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 and provides dual monitor support**, PTC expects that it will run in this mode without issue. PTC will provide limited support to resolve issues arising when running in dual monitor mode, however, the entire solution will not be submitted for formal certification as a complete configuration.

PTC has tested and officially supports the following graphics cards. This list is not meant to be a comprehensive listing of cards with dual monitor capabilities and it does not represent a shift from PTC's policy of certifying complete systems.
PTC's Support Policy.

Supported and tested graphics cards:
ATI FireGL XL1
3DLabs Wildcat VP 990 Pro
NVIDIA Quadro4 900XGL, 980XGL and FX 2000


Note: in the event that dual monitor mode fails, we advise use of Span mode as a workaround.

** Please consult with 3DLabs, ATI, NVIDIA, or the hardware platform partner to confirm the availability of this functionality with a given graphics card that has been certified with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0.
