About GPU

nTop (formerly nTopology)This software requires a high-performance GPU and large-capacity VRAM to process and display complex 3D structures in real time.
The official guide recommends 24GB or more of VRAM as a high performance requirement.

This system uses a R with 24GB of VRAM.TX 4500 Adawas selected.
This configuration achieves both the comfort of real-time rendering and the stability of analysis processing.

Memory and Expansion

The recommended requirements call for a minimum of 64GB of RAM.
In this configuration128GB (64GB x 2)Equipped with.
Furthermore, by utilizing the available slot, you can expand the capacity up to 256GB.
This allows for flexible response to future increases in processing load.

About CPU

The official guide recommends a CPU with 16 or more cores as a guideline for high performance requirements.
With this in mind,Intel Core Ultra's top-of-the-line Core Ultra 285K (8 cores + 16 cores)Was adopted.
It has a high clock speed and sufficient number of cores, making it suitable for design processing and visualization in CAD software.

What is nTop?

nTop (formerly nTopology) is design software specialized for complex shapes, lattice structures, and topology optimization.
Its intuitive operation streamlines design for 3D printers, which was difficult with conventional CAD. It is widely used by universities and research institutes, as well as engineers in the aviation, automotive, and medical fields, and contributes to reducing product weight and improving development speed.
