[SOLVED] Running OpenSees (and other softwares) with an AMD Ryzen CPU ?

[sid_fcb]

Hi
I am trying to assemble a workstation for my research. I use Opensees for finite element simulations. I have only used them on Intel processors and M1 chips on my MacBook. I want to know if Opensees runs fine on AMD CPUs ?

Thank you.

I don't have any experience with that particular software, but in general you should look for (search online) "opensees hardware requirements".

System requirements on OpenSees website does not specify CPU, but it would be very unusual for an application to only work on Intel-based systems. There are exceptions though 'cos I remember reading some years ago that Photoshop (don't know what version) wouldn't run on AMD CPU, so I made sure my new PC at that time was Intel-based.

For 100% confirmation though you would need to contact someone who is actually using that specialised software.
